Lombard, IL – Drivers in Lombard and across DuPage County should prepare for delays Tuesday morning as a portion of North Main Street shuts down for scheduled utility work.
According to the Village of Lombard, southbound traffic on N. Main Street between West Grove Street and West St. Charles Road will be closed beginning at 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, April 21, weather permitting. Crews will be replacing a section of water main, impacting a key route through the village’s downtown corridor.
The closure is expected to affect the morning commute, particularly for drivers traveling between central Lombard and surrounding DuPage County communities in the western Chicago suburbs. Officials say the work zone sits near a busy area close to Metra rail crossings, local businesses, and residential neighborhoods.
A posted detour will guide southbound traffic west on Grove Street, south on Park Avenue, and then east on St. Charles Road back to Main Street. Drivers are encouraged to follow all signage and allow extra time when traveling through the area.
According to village officials, motorists should remain alert for construction crews, equipment, and changing traffic patterns while navigating the detour. Alternate routes may help reduce congestion during peak travel times.
No reopening time has been confirmed. The Village of Lombard stated that updates will be provided once repairs are completed and the roadway is safe to reopen.
This temporary closure highlights ongoing infrastructure improvements across DuPage County, with officials emphasizing safety and long-term reliability of essential utilities.
