Wheaton, IL – Northbound traffic on a section of President Street is closed this week as the DuPage Water Commission conducts an emergency repair on a water main. The closure began Monday and is expected to remain in place through Sunday, Aug. 17.
According to the City of Wheaton Government, motorists traveling northbound are being rerouted along a posted detour. The route directs drivers east on Forest Avenue, north on Stoddard Avenue, west on Prairie Avenue, and then back north on President Street. Southbound lanes remain open during the repair.
The DuPage Water Commission is urging drivers to follow detour signage and allow for extra travel time when passing through the affected area. Crews are working to complete the repairs as quickly as possible to restore normal traffic flow and ensure reliable water service.
Residents and commuters are reminded that the closure impacts only northbound traffic, but delays are still possible as vehicles adjust to the alternate route. City officials thanked the public for its patience during the project, noting the repair is essential to maintaining the integrity of the water distribution system.
For continued updates on the project, drivers are encouraged to monitor the City of Wheaton’s official channels and local traffic reports.
