Mokena, Illinois – A scheduled water system repair along Wolf Road is expected to draw motorist attention Wednesday morning without closing traffic lanes.
According to the Mokena Police Department, the Village of Mokena will continue water system repair work on the west side of Wolf Road between Platner Drive and the Hickory Creek Bridge on Wednesday, February 4. The work is scheduled to begin around 9 a.m. and is expected to be completed the same day.
Police said no lane closures are anticipated during the repair, but drivers traveling through the area should use caution due to the presence of workers and equipment near the roadway. Traffic may slow at times as crews move materials or vehicles in and out of the work zone.
Village officials did not release details on the nature of the repair but confirmed it is part of ongoing maintenance to the local water infrastructure. Utility work in this corridor is typically scheduled during daytime hours to minimize overnight disruptions and maintain visibility for both crews and drivers.

Motorists are encouraged to allow extra travel time Wednesday morning and to follow any posted signage or directions from personnel in the area.
