Joliet, IL – Drivers on Interstate 80 in Will County should plan for significant overnight delays starting Friday, October 25, as crews implement a new traffic pattern west of Joliet.
According to I-80 Will, westbound I-80 will be reduced to one lane beginning at 8 p.m. Friday from Chicago Street (U.S. 52/Illinois 53) to Houbolt Road. Ramps to and from Larkin Avenue and the Center Street ramp to westbound I-80 will also close overnight.
Crews expect to reopen ramps and lanes by noon Saturday, October 26, weather permitting. The Illinois Department of Transportation says the new configuration will allow work to continue on the mainline lanes and is expected to remain in effect through summer 2026.
Motorists are encouraged to allow extra travel time, use alternate routes, and remain alert for workers and changing traffic conditions in the area.
