Beginning in mid-November and lasting into mid-December, the Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways (DOTH) will close Wolf Road near 72nd Street to complete repairs on the Wolf Road bridge over Flagg Creek.
The County's bridge repair project will detour all traffic around the bridge closure for approximately three weeks. Seek alternate routes during this time – use County Line Road or Willow Springs Road to avoid the closure of Wolf Road near 72nd Street. Local traffic to the schools, parks, homes and fire station will be allowed. Cook County DOTH will install signs for detour routes.
The Cook County DOTH has provided this information to the Village. The Village will forward any updates from the County regarding this project whenever they become available. All other inquiries or problems within the County's roadway projects can be handled by calling (312) 603-1620.
