Wolfs Crossing project kicks off April 3

After many years of planning, the first phase of the Wolfs Crossing improvement project will begin on April 3. The multi-phase project will transform Wolfs Crossing into a four-lane road to help ease traffic congestion, improve safety and accommodate growth.

To start, Wolfs Crossing will be widened to four lanes from east of the entrance to Oswego East High School to east of Devoe Drive, and the four-way stop-controlled intersection of Wolfs Crossing and Harvey Road will be replaced by a modern roundabout.

Work will kick off on April 3 with the closure of Wolfs Crossing between Harvey Road and Route 30 for work at the intersection of Devoe Drive and Wolfs Crossing. Detours will be posted along the route.

Learn more about the project and get construction updates and detour information from the Village’s Wolfs Crossing webpage. Check your Village email subscription to ensure you’re signed up for traffic alerts.

Do you know your polling location?

Be prepared to vote in the Consolidated General Election on April 4 by checking your voter ID card or visiting the Kendall County Clerk’s portal to verify your precinct and polling place.

Early voting continues at Oswego Village Hall and the Kendall County Clerk's Office.

For information on voter registration, early voting and ballot, visit the Kendall County Clerk's election website or call 630-553-4105.
