Route 83 will be closed east of LaGrange Road in Palos Park. The detour directs drivers to LaGrange via 123rd Street and Route 7 to reconnect with Route 83. The Illinois Department of Transportation, which announced the project, expects to finish the work by Nov. 21. Homes and businesses east and west of the creek will still be accessible. More information on construction projects is available on IDOT’s District 1 site: www.dot.state.il.us.
