Addison, IL – Drivers in Addison should be prepared for delays this weekend as police announced plans for a roadside safety checkpoint on U.S. Route 20.
According to the Addison Police Department, the checkpoint will take place Friday, September 12, from 9 p.m. until Saturday, September 13, at 1 a.m. Officers will be stationed on Lake Street near 9th Avenue to monitor vehicles traveling eastbound.
