Plainfield, IL – Drivers in the Plainfield area should plan for delays Wednesday as contractors complete paving work on Wallin Drive between Illinois 126 and Presidential Avenue. Local officials say the work will impact travel throughout the day, and motorists are advised to allow extra time.
According to the Village of Plainfield, crews will begin paving Wednesday, followed by gravel shoulder installation on Thursday. The improvements cover a key stretch connecting neighborhoods, schools, and commercial areas on the village’s south side.
Flaggers will be on-site both days to manage traffic and assist drivers navigating lane reductions and slow-moving work zones. Village officials noted that the paving operations may cause temporary backups, especially during the morning and afternoon commuting windows.
Weather permitting, the gravel shoulder work on Thursday is expected to create additional brief traffic stops as equipment moves along the roadway. Drivers traveling toward IL 126, downtown Plainfield, or nearby residential areas are encouraged to use alternate routes if possible.
Residents are reminded that construction times may shift based on conditions, and updates will be provided if schedules change.
Anyone traveling through the Wallin Drive corridor near IL 126 and Presidential Avenue should exercise caution and be mindful of workers directing traffic.
