Main Street between Van Buren and Benton Avenues likely will be closed through mid-August
Main Street between Van Buren and Benton avenues is anticipated to be closed from now through mid-August for duct bank installation work. Motorists traveling through that portion of downtown Naperville are advised to be cautious of construction occurring in the area and allow extra time to reach their destination.
The Van Buren Parking Garage remains open.
In addition, the sidewalk along Main Street Promenade is open for pedestrians to enter the life-style and business center from Main Street, accessible from Van Buren and Benton avenues.
This work is being done to increase electric reliability and prepare for the needs of future development in the area. Motorists are encouraged to follow detours that are now posted.
Work will occur between 7AM to 4PM, and the public should expect noise and dust in the area. The road is expected to reopen by mid-August, pending weather and unforeseen circumstances.
Additional temporary lane closures on Van Buren Avenue at the beginning and end of the project will occur; flaggers will be on site during those times to assist motorists in maneuvering around the area.
