Dundee Road to remain open despite 83 closure affecting gas station access

The Village of Wheeling Board Meeting on May 19, 2025, highlighted significant concerns regarding the upcoming closure of Route 83 and its impact on local businesses, particularly a nearby gas station. During the meeting, officials addressed questions about access to the 7-Eleven gas station, which is currently only reachable via Route 83.

As the closure approaches, one board member raised concerns about how the gas station would be affected, especially since access from Route 83 would be cut off. Officials confirmed that while Route 83 will be closed, Dundee Road will remain open for east and west traffic. However, access to the gas station from Dundee will still be restricted due to existing concrete barriers.

The discussion underscored the importance of maintaining access to local businesses during construction projects. Board members assured attendees that they would provide updates through project reports and written communications as the situation evolves. The commitment to keeping the community informed reflects the board's dedication to minimizing disruption for residents and local businesses alike.

As the project progresses, the board will continue to monitor the situation and communicate any changes that may affect access to the gas station and surrounding areas.
