Two highway ramps near Woodridge close overnight starting Thursday, Nov. 12, for pavement repairs that will reroute late-night drivers through local interchanges.

The ramp connecting northbound I-355 to southbound I-55 is scheduled to shut down at 10 p.m. Thursday, Shaw Local reported, citing an Illinois Tollway announcement. A posted detour will send traffic onto northbound I-55 to Lemont Road and back through the interchange to reach southbound I-55. The ramp is scheduled to reopen by 5 a.m. Friday, Nov. 13.

The same night, the ramp from Ogden Avenue to southbound I-355 will also close at 10 p.m. No detour will be posted for that closure. That ramp is also scheduled to reopen by 5 a.m. Friday.

Each closure will require a second overnight shutdown to finish the work, according to the Tollway. No date for the second night was included in the Tollway's announcement, Shaw Local reported.

More closures ahead

A third ramp, connecting southbound I-355 to northbound I-55, is also scheduled to close for two nights later in November, the Tollway said. A detour for that closure will route traffic onto southbound I-55 to Bolingbrook Drive and back through the interchange to northbound I-55.

Repair work is scheduled throughout November on multiple ramps along I-355 and the ramp connecting Ogden Avenue to eastbound I-88, according to the Tollway.

The closures are being coordinated with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), the Village of Woodridge, the Village of Lemont, DuPage Township and several county and railroad agencies, according to the Tollway.

Part of a larger project

The work falls under the Tollway's seven-year, $2 billion "Bridging the Future" capital plan. The I-355 project covers pavement and structural repairs between I-80 and Army Trail Road in Will, Cook and DuPage counties. Additional work includes sign panel installations, pavement markings and CCTV camera installations.

The Tollway's project page states the work is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2026. Shaw Local, citing the Tollway, reported that repair work is scheduled to continue into 2027.

All road work is weather dependent. Drivers can check the Tollway's daily construction alerts page for current closure information.
