Skokie, IL road improvements may impact travel and appointments

Community bites

Skokie is moving forward with infrastructure upgrades as part of its 2025–2026 Capital Improvement Program, including resurfacing over 3.5 miles of residential streets, sidewalk and curb repairs, and continued work along Old Orchard Road.

While these improvements will enhance safety and traffic flow long term, short-term detours are likely. Checking routes ahead of time can help keep your day on track—especially when you have appointments to make.

That’s particularly important for healthcare visits. With Aspen Dental Skokie conveniently located in the area, planning ahead makes it easier to arrive on time and stay consistent with your dental care, even during construction season.
