Hydraulic Road is Officially Open

It is now right turn only onto Route 47.

Business owners along Hydraulic and residents who use the street can rejoice: the road is finally open.

Foxy’s Ice Cream owner Robyn Sutcliff posted the happy announcement on the Yorkville Patch, Friday afternoon. She said the road officially opened at 4:30 p.m. Friday, which has been closed for several months due to construction on Route 47.

The road is now a right turn only heading west on Hydraulic to turn onto Route 47, which is what IDOT said would happen back in July.
