Addison, IL – Drivers in Addison should expect detours and delays beginning Wednesday morning as road construction gets underway at a busy local intersection.
According to the Village of Addison and Addison Police Department, road work will begin Wednesday, January 21, at the intersection of Wisconsin Avenue and Diversey Avenue as part of the village’s ongoing sewer separation project.
The construction will require a full closure at the intersection, with traffic rerouted using posted detours. Officials released a traffic control map showing vehicles being directed along Moreland Avenue, Maple Avenue, and Myrick Avenue to bypass the work zone.
The closure directly impacts north–south traffic on Wisconsin Avenue, a commonly used local route connecting residential areas and nearby commercial corridors. East–west access along Diversey Avenue will also be restricted while crews are working.
Village officials say the detours are designed to keep traffic moving while maintaining safety for construction crews and nearby residents. Drivers are urged to follow posted signage and allow extra travel time, especially during morning and evening commute hours.
No specific reopening date has been announced, but officials said updates will be shared on the Village of Addison’s social media channels as work progresses.
Residents who live nearby may also notice increased construction noise and temporary access changes during the project. Police remind drivers to slow down in work zones and watch for workers and equipment.
Motorists traveling through DuPage County or heading toward nearby suburbs should consider alternate routes during the closure period.
