New Lenox, IL – Residents and motorists traveling through the Village of New Lenox should prepare for ongoing infrastructure improvements as the local road resurfacing project continues through this week. As of Monday, September 7, 2026, the village has initiated a new round of construction updates to inform the public about the status of several local streets scheduled for asphalt replacement and removal.
According to the Village of New Lenox, the latest update covers the period from Monday, September 7, 2026, through Saturday, September 12, 2026. This phase of the project is part of a larger ongoing effort to improve road quality and safety throughout the community.

The construction schedule for the week of September 7, 2026, to September 12, 2026, involves specific zones within the Village of New Lenox. Residents living on or near the streets slated for work are encouraged to pay close attention to posted signage and temporary traffic patterns.
