Buffalo Grove Road Project Nears Completion

BUFFALO GROVE, IL — It's almost done. A complete restructure project on Buffalo Grove Road to improve traffic is nearing completion.

The Lake County Division of Transportation announced Monday asphalt paving and pavement striping from Illinois Route 22 to Aptakisic Road is finished for the two-year project.

This week, crews are finishing landscape restoration, removing barricades, and other miscellaneous cleanup work. Two lanes of travel are now available in each direction.

While work is being done, drivers are advised to watch for workers and flaggers. They should be cautious of trucks coming in and out of the job site.

ABOUT THE PROJECT (FROM LCDOT)

Description: Buffalo Grove Road from Deerfield Pkwy to IL 22 will be completely reconstructed to provide two lanes of travel in each direction. This includes a center median and turn lanes at all major intersections. A new traffic signal will be installed at the intersection of Thompson Boulevard. Crosswalks at each street crossing will be improved and upgraded to ADA standards.

Crews will also connect the bike path gap between Aptakisic Road and Brandywyn Lane making it easier for residents to walk and bike to local parks, schools and shopping areas.

Temporary lane closures may occur a few hours per day to complete major work.

Construction will take place over a two-year period using a staged approach:

• North Section: Focused construction on Buffalo Grove Road from IL 22 to Aptakisic Road, with minor impacts south of Aptakisic.
• South Section: Focused construction on Buffalo Grove Road from Aptakisic Road to Deerfield Pkwy. This includes intersection improvements at Buffalo Grove Road and Aptakisic Road, which will extend to slightly north of Aptakisic.
