Project Information

 

This Project Includes:  The construction involves extensive improvements to the Dundee Road / Community Boulevard intersection, including a new traffic signal, as well as roadway widening of Dundee Road west and east of Community Boulevard. The roadway widening will require removal of substantial areas of curbing, parkway, and sidewalk along both sides of the roadway, to more or less extent. The proposed widening will not create new driving lanes on Dundee Road, but it will allow for increased lane width, making it safer and more comfortable to drive.

This is an Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) administered and managed project utilizing federal Surface Transportation Program (STP) grant funding approved by and through the Northwest Municipal Council of Mayors Technical Committee.  

Project Limits: Dundee Road at Community Boulevard

Project Schedule: June to November
