Carol Stream, IL – Motorists in Carol Stream should expect significant traffic delays this week as both northbound lanes of Gary Avenue at St. Charles Road will be closed during scheduled sanitary sewer repairs.
According to the Village of Carol Stream, lane closures began Monday at 8:30 p.m., with excavation work starting shortly after. Crews plan to reopen lanes by 3 p.m. Tuesday, but closures will resume Wednesday morning around 10 a.m. for final repairs. The project is expected to be completed and all lanes reopened by 3 p.m. Wednesday.
During the closure, northbound traffic will be shifted into the left turn lane before the St. Charles Road intersection, allowing vehicles to proceed north or turn left onto St. Charles Road. Southbound lanes will remain open and unaffected. The village warns that the lane shift into a single turn lane will cause delays, particularly during Tuesday morning’s commute.
This traffic advisory is the latest in a series of infrastructure improvements in the village aimed at maintaining critical utilities and roadways. Updates on the project’s progress will be shared on the Village of Carol Stream’s website and social media platforms.
