On the weekends beginning December 6 and December 13, 2019, Commonwealth Edison crews will conduct extensive work removing several old, unused bridges on Skokie Boulevard between Oakton and Howard Streets. As a result, that section of Skokie Boulevard will closed for much of both weekends, from approximately 5 p.m. on Fridays, December 6 and 13 to no later than 5 a.m. on Mondays, December 9 and 16. A detour route is being established to direct traffic to Touhy Avenue, Crawford Avenue and Oakton Street as necessary. In addition to the road closure, the adjacent section of the Skokie Valley Trail also will be closed during these weekends.
