Joliet, IL – Commuters traveling through Joliet this week should prepare for overnight lane and ramp closures along Interstate 80, according to local police and transportation officials.
The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and I-80 Will announced that crews will be performing nighttime work on I-80 near Houbolt Road, beginning Monday, December 15, 2025, and continuing through the week.
According to IDOT, the work will include temporary lane closures and intermittent ramp restrictions between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. each night to allow for construction activities tied to the ongoing I-80 corridor improvement project. Drivers are encouraged to plan extra travel time or use alternate routes to avoid potential slowdowns.
Local officials warn that traffic patterns may shift nightly as crews progress through various sections of the interstate. The Joliet Police Department advised residents to stay updated through the city’s website and IDOT’s official I-80 Will portal for the latest closure maps and timing.
