Full-Size Road Closure Map

Full-Size Truck Detour Route Map

Beginning on Monday, Sept. 22, road closures, parking restrictions, and a detour route will take place around Dozer Park, located at 730 S.W. Adams Street. The restrictions, which are expected to last six days, are necessary for field renovations at Dozer Park by the Peoria Chiefs. Additional work will be done on the field later in October.

Drivers and pedestrians should be mindful of an increased number of semis in the area. Drivers should also exercise an overabundance of caution in the area and be mindful of the closures.
