Information about Naperville's road construction projects is available on the Construction Alerts page at www.naperville.il.us. I experienced this closure before it was closed (they had just set up the barricades, one lane from north of Hobson to Green Trails plus the start of closing from Chicago to Plank). Traffic was a nightmare. Avoid avoid avoid.

Just a FYI of what may happen.... City eyes North Aurora Road improvements October 7, 2008 Sun Staff The city of Naperville and Naperville Township are evaluating possible improvements to North Aurora Road between Frontenac Road - east of the EJ&E railroad tracks - and Weston Ridge Drive, west of Route 59. An online survey to help identify the needs and concerns along this corridor is now available on the city's Web site at www.naperville.il.us/northauroraroadsurvey.aspx. ON THE WEB Fill out the city of Naperville's online survey about needs and concerns along the North Aurora Road corridor at www.naperville.il.us/northauro raroadsurvey.aspx North Aurora Road is a minor arterial roadway that accommodates approximately 22,000 vehicles per day, which exceeds the current vehicle capacity for the road, the city said in a news release. It functions as a primary connection between the cities of Naperville and Aurora and provides access to numerous businesses and subdivisions. The section of North Aurora Road between Frontenac Drive and Weston Ridge Drive is the only remaining section of this road with a single lane for each direction for several miles on either side, creating a bottleneck condition. In order to meet the traffic demand and match the adjacent pavement cross section, the city and township are considering improvements that include widening the roadway to five lanes, sidewalk installation, bicycle accommodations and new drainage facilities. All members of the public, including residents, business owners and other interested parties, are encouraged to provide input and comments.

It would really help to get that underpass widened and to do something to help with the traffic pattern of vehicles going in and out of the ice rink just to the WEST of the tracks.

Yes - North Aurora Rd being only 2 lanes by the rink entrance is unsafe. From the Naperville web site, widening the EJ&E underpass is being treated as a separate project - hopefully the road west of the underpass would be widened as part of that project.

www.suburbanchicagonews.com/napervillesun/news/1213395,6_1_NA10_ROUTE30_S1.article Route 30 to close for emergency repairsOctober 10, 2008 Sun staff The Illinois Department of Transportation plans to close Route 30 southwest of Naperville this month for emergency repairs. IDOT says that beginning Oct. 20, weather permitting, the road will be completely closed to through traffic between Aurora and Plainfield for about two weeks so repair work can be done on two culverts. Permanent repairs of the culverts will still be required. The temporary repairs are needed in order to avoid a restriction on truck traffic in the area through the coming winter, IDOT said. Traffic will be detoured around the closed section of Route 30 via Route 34 and Route 59. The first culvert requiring repairs is located in Kendall County, over a ditch a half-mile northwest of Wolf Road. Once that is repaired, work will start on the second culvert, which is in Will County and also carries Route 30 over a ditch. It is approximately 1.5 miles southeast of 111th Street.

Skip the open house and just do it already! This extension is WAY overdue. how about widening Book to 4 lanes from 75th to 95th, too? That's been looked at and there's some reason they can't do it (maybe the Forest Preserve has something to do with it), but it is needed. The problem you'd run into are the homes south of 95th street that are right on Book Rd and don't sit that far back from the road (there's also a few north of 95th as well).

www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=244486&src=76Naperville to let you fight citationsBy Melissa Jenco | Daily Herald 10/22/2008 Naperville will handle hearings for motorists who want to fight their red-light camera tickets instead of sending them to DuPage County Circuit Court. The city council approved the process for such hearings Tuesday for drivers facing a $100 ticket for being caught running a red light. Redflex Traffic Systems, Inc. will soon be installing the cameras at the intersection of North Aurora Road and Route 59 and expect to have them operational before the end of the year. Once installed, there will be a 30-day warning period for violators before tickets are issued. Violators will receive a ticket by mail that includes a photograph of their vehicle going through the light. Each will be reviewed by a city technician before being sent out. Those who want to fight their ticket can attend a hearing conducted by a special city administrator that will be held monthly beginning in March. At the hearing, two police officers will be present and witness testimony will be allowed. In addition to the $100 fine, motorists who fight the ticket and are found guilty will also pay a $25 fee to cover administrative costs. The city estimates holding such hearings will cost less than $1,000 a month and will be cheaper both for itself and motorists than going through the county. Councilman Robert Fieseler consulted with city staff to work on the language detailing the hearing procedure and said while the system is apt to be imperfect at first, he feels it will be fair. Ultimately, the city would like to install cameras at 10 to 15 intersections throughout the city. In July, the council approved a $374,000 contract with Redflex Traffic Systems, Inc of Culver City, Ca. to install the cameras along state and county roads. It terminated a contract with its previous vendor, Traffipax, Inc., last spring after numerous delays in getting the cameras up and running.
