Plainfield, IL – Drivers in Plainfield should prepare for major detours this week as CN Railroad performs emergency track repairs at two busy crossings.
According to the Plainfield Police Department, CN crews will close the 119th Street crossing on Tuesday, October 14, starting at 8 a.m. The road will be closed to all traffic while the work is completed. A posted detour will reroute drivers along 248th Avenue, 127th Street, and Route 30, with Normantown Road remaining open for local travel.
In addition, CN will conduct similar emergency repairs at the 127th Street crossing on Thursday, October 16, leading to another full closure and detour in the same area. Both projects are expected to impact morning and midday travel through Plainfield’s west side.
Residents and commuters are encouraged to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and follow all detour signage. Police advise avoiding the area if possible until work is complete.
