Section of Cedar Lake Parkway Closed

A closure of Cedar Lake Parkway to vehicle traffic from just east of Burnham Road across the rail corridor to Xerxes Avenue South began on July 14. The purpose of this closure is to construct the final roadway, sidewalk, and trail across the freight rail corridor. This is anticipated to be the last full closure of Cedar Lake Parkway for Green Line Extension construction. The roadway will be closed into fall. Trails across the rail corridor will remain open.
It was previously communicated that Burnham Road would remain open during the closure of Cedar Lake Parkway. However, due to the work required at the intersection, it was determined that there was not sufficient space. Trail access will still be maintained in a temporary condition across the rail corridor.
The Burnham Road Bridge and Lake of the Isles Parkway will remain in a two-way condition for local access for the duration of this closure. Follow posted detours, slow down, and stay away from areas where construction is taking place.
