Elmhurst, IL – Drivers traveling through Elmhurst should prepare for overnight delays beginning this week as intermittent closures are scheduled on Butterfield Road beneath Interstate 294.
According to the City of Elmhurst, overnight traffic stops will begin the week of Sunday, January 5, to allow crews to complete bridge work on the Tri-State Tollway. The closures will affect Butterfield Road under I-294 and may include full traffic stops of up to 15 minutes in both directions.
City officials say the intermittent closures are expected to occur between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., a time window chosen to reduce daytime congestion. However, drivers traveling late at night or early in the morning are encouraged to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and use caution when approaching the work zone.
The construction is part of ongoing maintenance and improvement work along the Tri-State Tollway corridor, which runs through several DuPage County communities and serves as a key route for suburban Chicago commuters.
Motorists should be alert for changing traffic patterns, posted signage, and possible temporary detours during the overnight hours. Police and construction crews may be present to manage traffic flow and ensure safety.
Officials recommend checking the City of Elmhurst website for updated schedules and additional details, as work timelines may change due to weather or construction conditions.
Drivers who frequently use Butterfield Road or connect to I-294 during overnight hours may want to consider alternate routes during the closure period.
