Lisle, IL – Drivers in Lisle should prepare for major traffic changes this weekend as BNSF Railway continues construction on the Main Street underpass. According to the Village of Lisle, the underpass will be fully closed on Saturday, November 1, from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m.
The work, part of ongoing infrastructure improvements along the BNSF rail line, will temporarily restrict access beneath the tracks, affecting both northbound and southbound travel through the downtown area.
According to the Village’s announcement, motorists are advised to use IL Route 53 as an alternate route to travel north or south during the closure period. Local access to nearby businesses and residential areas will remain open, though delays are expected throughout the day.
Commuters are encouraged to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and follow posted detour signs. Weather permitting, the underpass is expected to reopen by 8 p.m. Saturday evening.
This closure follows similar maintenance activity conducted earlier this fall as part of BNSF’s regional rail improvement efforts.
