Joliet, IL - As part of the next phase of construction for the downtown Chicago Street Streetscape project, traffic control and safety measures will be changing for approximately one week beginning, Monday, December 8, 2025, for concrete work in the intersection of Clinton Street and Chicago Street.

Clinton Street will be closed to thru traffic from Ottawa Street to Scott Street for approximately one week as the intersection of Chicago Street is constructed. Chicago Street will be closed between Van Buren Street and Cass Street until the intersection can be re-opened to traffic.

The block of Clinton Street from Chicago Street to Scott Street remains accessible to local traffic for exit from the Scott Street parking deck, and access to the private parking lot north of Clinton Street only. No thru traffic will be permitted.

Use of the City Center parking deck is highly recommended.

Safety fencing or construction barrels define safe pedestrian routes throughout the construction zone. All businesses are open and pedestrian access to all businesses will be maintained during construction.
