U.S. 20 resurfacing in McHenry County begins July 21

CHICAGO – The Illinois Department of Transportation announced today that patching and resurfacing of U.S. 20 (Grant Highway), between Getty and Harmony roads in McHenry County, will require intermittent daytime lane closures beginning, weather permitting, Monday, July 21.

The project is anticipated to be completed in late September. Access to residences and businesses within the work zone will be maintained throughout construction.

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.
