Dempster Street Has Reopened; Touhy Still Closed

Here are the 2 best ways to detour around the Touhy Avenue closure. Plus--Howard Street is closing next.



The Metra crossing at Dempster Street in Morton Grove has reopened, and traffic can now get through on Dempster. It reopened about 11:20 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 10. Crews were performing work on the trains' grade crossing. 

However, Touhy Avenue is now blocked off at the Metra tracks, just west of Village Crossing Shopping Center and Niles Center Road, and east of Lehigh and Caldwell Avenues.
