Sunny Acres Road to be closed beginning Jan. 15

Residents of Mahomet are advised to prepare for upcoming traffic disruptions as the Norfolk Railroad announces its schedule for signal improvement works. The project, which aims to enhance the safety and efficiency of the railroad crossings, will affect two major thoroughfares in the town.

Center Street Partial Closure Begins January 8th

The first phase of the project will commence on January 8th at Center Street, contingent on favorable weather conditions. The Norfolk Railroad team will be resuming their signal work, which necessitates a partial closure of Center Street. Motorists are advised to expect delays and plan their routes accordingly. The improvements on Center Street are part of a broader effort to upgrade the town’s railway infrastructure, ensuring a safer commuting experience for both drivers and train passengers.

Complete Closure of Sunny Acres Road Starting January 15th

A more significant disruption is expected on Sunny Acres Road, starting from January 15th. The road will be completely closed to all traffic during the signal work. Authorities have emphasized that night openings will not be an option during this period. The closure is expected to last for two weeks, subject to weather conditions. This complete shutdown is necessary for the safety of the workers and the public, as the signal work involves intricate operations that require the road to be free of vehicular movement.

Residents are urged to use alternative routes and to allow extra travel time during these periods.
