🚧 GOLF ROAD RESURFACING PROJECT – TRAFFIC ALERT
The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) has begun a resurfacing project along a three-mile stretch of Golf Road (IL-58), including a portion within Morton Grove.
🔧 What to Expect
Work includes curb and utility structure repairs, curb ramp upgrades, pavement milling and patching, and new asphalt resurfacing. Access to residences and businesses within the work zone will be maintained throughout construction.
📅 Construction Schedule
Work is underway and will involve daily daytime lane closures, weather permitting.
The section from Western Avenue in Niles to just west of Harlem Avenue is expected to be completed by mid-November 2026.
The remainder of the project outside Morton Grove is anticipated to begin and be completed in 2027.
🚗 Plan Ahead
Motorists should expect delays, allow extra travel time, and consider alternate routes. Please use caution in construction zones, follow posted speed limits and traffic signs, obey flaggers, and watch for workers and construction equipment.
IDOT and its contractor are responsible for all aspects of this project.

🌎 International ShakeOut Day 2026
Although earthquakes are uncommon in Morton Grove, Illinois has a history of seismic activity, and tremors can be felt across Northern Illinois. Even minor earthquakes serve as an important reminder that earthquakes can happen anywhere, even in places where they are rare.
International ShakeOut Day is an opportunity to learn about earthquake preparedness and practice what to do if the ground starts shaking.
📢 Remember: Drop, Cover, and Hold On!
DROP to your hands and knees.
COVER your head and neck and take shelter under a sturdy table or desk, if possible.
HOLD ON until the shaking stops.
Taking a few moments to prepare today can help keep you and your family safer tomorrow.
Stay informed, stay prepared, and stay safe! Click the link below for more information specific to Illinois.

Reminder: The Morton Grove Police Dept. will never call, email, or message you to demand gift cards, crypto, or immediate cash payments to clear a warrant, ticket, or anything else.
If you receive a high-pressure call from someone claiming to be law enforcement or a government official:
1. Hang up immediately.
2. Do not share personal or financial information.
3. Call 911 if you need a police response.
Stay sharp and help warn your neighbors (especially seniors) who are often targeted by these phone scams.
