Westbound lane of Old Willow Road to close for about nine weeks for sewer work
Summary
Prospect Heights officials said a contractor will close the westbound lane of Old Willow Road between Mandel and Wolf to access manholes for a sewer project; westbound traffic will be detoured south on Mandel Lane then west on Wolf Road for about nine weeks.
Jordan Johnson, reporting from City Hall for Prospect Heights Television Spotlight News, said the westbound lane of Old Willow Road between Mandel and Wolf will be closed to allow contractor Michael's Trenchless to access manholes for a sewer project under way for the North West Regional District (NWRD).
"All westbound traffic will be detoured to go southbound on Mandel Lane then west to Wolf Road for about 9 weeks," Johnson said. The segment did not specify a start date.
Officials said the closure affects only the westbound lane; the bulletin described a single-lane, one-way traffic pattern while crews work in the roadway center. The report did not provide a contractor contact, a permit number or a firm project completion date beyond the approximate nine-week window.
The detour routing—south on Mandel Lane, then west on Wolf Road—may affect local travel patterns and trip times for residents and businesses along the route. Drivers should follow posted detour signs and the Prospect Heights Police Department's directions while the closure is in effect.
The bulletin did not state whether there will be restrictions on large vehicles, nor did it give a start date or a dedicated project hotline. Residents seeking further details should consult official city or NWRD communications for scheduling and safety advisories.
