Braidwood, IL – Drivers in Braidwood should expect delays tonight around 9 p.m. near the intersection of Main Street (Route 113) and Comet Drive as Reed-Custer High School’s home football game concludes.
According to the Braidwood Emergency Services and Disaster Agency (E.S.D.A.), officers will assist with traffic control in the area to manage the expected post-game congestion. Motorists traveling along Route 113 or exiting the high school parking lots are urged to use caution and allow extra travel time.

No road closures are planned, but police will be on-site directing vehicles to ensure safe and efficient flow through the busy intersection. Residents are encouraged to consider alternate routes or wait until traffic clears before entering Main Street near Comet Drive.
