Naperville, IL – Drivers in Naperville should prepare for delays starting the week of Sept. 29, when the second and final stage of the North Aurora Road Improvement Project gets underway.
According to the City of Naperville, the project will replace the 110-year-old railroad bridge with a new structure spanning five expanded traffic lanes, a multi-use trail, and a sidewalk. City officials said the work marks a major milestone in improving traffic flow and pedestrian safety in the area.
Construction is expected to impact traffic near the North Aurora Road corridor, especially during weekday commuting hours. Crews will be working to demolish the aging bridge and install the new design, which aims to accommodate heavier traffic volumes and provide safer pedestrian access.
The North Aurora Road project has been in progress for several years, with earlier phases focusing on widening roads and improving drainage. This final stage is seen as one of the most transformative improvements for the busy stretch of roadway, which connects neighborhoods, businesses, and commuter routes.
Residents are encouraged to plan for potential delays, use alternate routes when possible, and allow extra travel time during construction. Updates on closures and progress will be shared on the city’s official channels.
