Road Closures at the Fairgrounds
Beginning on Monday, September 9, the city of St. Charles will begin the Prairie Street Reconstruction project requiring the closure of Prairie Street from Randall Road eastward. This work will also require a northbound lane closure on Randall Road from south of IL Route 38 to Prairie Street . Therefore, Randall Road will be limited to a single northbound lane starting on Tuesday, September 3. This configuration is expected to remain through Friday, September 20, depending on the weather. Motorists are strongly encouraged to seek alternate routes for northbound trips through this area.
