Rt. 22 and Old McHenry Road Advisory |
Roadway Advisory: IL Rte 22 and Old McHenry Rd - Signals are temporarily out. Expect heavy delays. (Thu, Sep 23 2010 03:18 PM)
This impact is due to a ComEd pole that snapped and wires came down. The pole has to be reset and other poles may need attention. So the traffic impact will be a long one.
Please see LAKE COUNTY PASSAGE below under TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION for additional details.
