The construction will necessitate a full closure of East Racine Street from the Rock River to Forest Park Boulevard and a full closure of South Main Street from East Racine Street to approximately 150 feet south of the intersection. The closure is expected to be through mid-August.

Traffic will be detoured via Randall Avenue, Tyler Street, Beloit Avenue, West Delavan Drive, South Jackson Street, Rockport Road, South River Street, and West Court Street.

While the roads will be closed to through traffic, local access to driveways and businesses within the affected area will generally be maintained.

The outbound detour will follow River Street to Court Street, then Main Street to Oakland Avenue, continuing on Forest Park Boulevard to Racine Street, then Fremont Street to Vista Avenue and Randall Avenue, where buses will resume their regular route.
