Illinois 68 resurfacing begins July 7

BARRINGTON HILLS – The Illinois Department of Transportation announced that resurfacing of Dundee Road (Illinois 68) from the Kane County line to Algonquin Road (Illinois 62) in Barrington Hills begins July 7. 

This $991,000 project will reduce Dundee Road to one lane in each direction, with traffic controlled by flaggers, until mid-November. 

The public can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area. Alternative routes are encouraged. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to flaggers and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits and be on the alert for workers and equipment. 

Over the next six years, IDOT is planning to improve more than 3,200 miles of highway and nearly 9 million square feet of bridge deck as part of Rebuild Illinois, which is investing $33.2 billion into all modes of transportation. Accomplishments through Year Five of Rebuild Illinois include approximately $16 billion of improvements statewide on 6,541 miles of highway, 686 bridges and 986 additional safety improvements.
