Braidwood, IL – Vita Lane in Braidwood’s Comet Estates subdivision will close for roadway replacement starting Monday, October 27, 2025, according to the Braidwood Police Department. The project will affect the stretch between Reed Street and Janet Drive, with work expected to last 7 to 10 days, ending around Wednesday, November 5.
According to the city’s notice, traffic within Comet Estates will be limited to residential access only, and detour signage will be posted at the Comet Drive/Rossi Lane entrances. No thru traffic will be allowed during construction.
Local first responders and the Reed-Custer School District transportation team have been informed, and bus routes may be adjusted for affected families. Residents are advised to plan for minor delays and to use alternate routes when possible.
Officials are placing special emphasis on Halloween night, as Comet Estates typically sees heavy foot traffic during Trick-or-Treat hours. Non-residents planning to visit are urged to park outside the subdivision and walk in, as road closures and limited access could make driving or turning around inside the neighborhood difficult.
The city asks drivers to use extra caution and avoid the area unless absolutely necessary.
