Will County, IL – The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) announced that traffic on Interstate 80 in Joliet will shift this weekend as part of ongoing construction between Ridge Road and U.S. 30.
According to IDOT, the work will require overnight lane and ramp closures beginning Saturday night, Oct. 25, continuing through Sunday morning, Oct. 26. The changes are part of the larger I-80 improvement project designed to modernize bridges, ramps, and roadways through Will County.
Drivers should prepare for reduced speeds, lane shifts, and potential delays during overnight hours. Detours will be clearly marked, and motorists are urged to allow extra travel time or use alternate routes while crews complete the work.
Weather permitting, all lanes are expected to reopen by Sunday morning, though additional closures are possible later in the week as the project progresses.
