Oswego, IL – A section of westbound Route 31 is currently closed Friday morning between Orchard Road and Route 34 after a semi-truck became stuck in the snow, according to the Village of Oswego Police Department.
Police announced the closure shortly after the incident occurred, noting that road crews and emergency personnel are working to clear the area. Drivers in Oswego and nearby Kendall County are being asked to avoid the route and seek alternate paths until further notice.
According to the department’s update, the closure stems from winter road conditions that caused the truck to become immobilized, blocking the westbound lanes. Snowfall and slick conditions have impacted several local roads in the region, contributing to slower travel times throughout the morning commute.
Officials have not yet provided an estimated reopening time but stated they will release an update once Route 31 is fully cleared and safe for travel.
Motorists are advised to use caution, allow extra travel time, and monitor official alerts for updates.
