Construction Alert For Next Week. Plan Your Alternate Routes Now. Church Road Bridge over I-88 is scheduled to close the week of August 18, for reconstruction. Electronic message signs and construction signs will be put in place to alert drivers in advance of the closure and detour. The Illinois Tollway is removing the existing bridge and replacing it with a new one that features a reinforced concrete deck on precast concrete beams. The new bridge will be widened and the height increased to meet current design standards. Bridge reconstruction is expected to be completed by the end of the year. Beginning next week, Church Road will be closed to through traffic between Corporate Boulevard and Molitor Road and the bridge will be closed to all traffic. A signed detour will be put in place directing traffic to use Indian Trail Road, Farnsworth Avenue and Butterfield Road. On I-88, shoulders closures will be in place for bridge reconstruction and intermittent traffic stops during off-peak hours will be scheduled for the removal and placement of bridge beams. Work also includes improving portions of Church Road on either side of the bridge. Up to 7,300 vehicles use this stretch of roadway daily. The roadway closure is being coordinated with the Illinois Department of Transportation, the city of Aurora and the village of North Aurora, as well as Aurora Township and local police and fire departments.
