AURORA Church Road between Butterfield Road and Interstate 88 will be under construction for the next six months as part of a street widening project.

The construction project starts at 7 a.m. Wednesday and will close Church Road between Corporate Boulevard and Interstate 88, according to a press release from the city of Aurora. Church Road will be open for southbound local traffic only from Butterfield Road to Corporate Boulevard. Bilter Road and Corporate Boulevard will be open in both directions with occasional lane closures throughout the project.

The Church Road segment will be widened from a two-lane rural road to a three-lane street featuring a center turn lane for left-hand turns. Other improvements include the installation of storm sewers along with curbs and gutters.

Motorists should avoid the area if at all possible. Message boards and signs will direct motorists to the detour route, which is scheduled to change two to three times during the project.

Construction is anticipated to be completed in November, but the schedule could be revised if there are complications.
