Street & Road Traffic
The Village's street network is one of its primary assets and a critical piece of infrastructure for residents and commuters alike. Therefore, the Village places significant emphasis on keeping roads open and clear for the public as well as working on conjunction with other agencies to plan projects and minimize delays due to construction.
For updates on current traffic conditions, please visit the Travel Midwest website, which is regularly updated by the Illinois Department of Transportation and Illinois Tollway. You can also sign-up for traffic notifications from the Village using Northbrook Notify (LINK).
During the construction season, the Village may have a number of projects occurring simultaneously. To learn more about these projects and their status, visit this link.
Information on future projects can be found on the Public Works Department's Capital Improvement Plan page.
