Friday, April 5, 2019 - 12 Noon

The Village of Wadsworth would like to provide you a copy of the funeral procession route for Illinois State Police Trooper Gerald Ellis who lost his life last week.

 

His funeral will take place at CLC at 10 a.m. on Friday (tomorrow).  Immediately following the funeral at approximately 12 Noon will be his funeral procession that will also begin at CLC and conclude near Lake Villa.

 

Intersections along the procession route will be blocked to allow for safe travel for the vehicles in the procession.

 

In the Wadsworth area, these intersections include: Russell Road and I-94; Russell Road and Old US HWY 41 (Skokie Highway); Old US HWY 41 (Skokie Highway) and Edwards Road; Old US HWY 41 (Skokie Highway) and Cermak Avenue; US HWY 41 and IL-173; IL-173 and Mill Creek Road; I-94 and IL-173 (bridge lanes); and, IL-173 and Hunt Club Road (the procession will proceed westerly of this intersection).

 

The procession is anticipated to last at least one hour; motorists may expect larger traffic volumes on IL-173 (east of US HWY 41) and Wadsworth Road throughout the duration of the procession.
