2-Way Traffic To Reopen On Kautz Road In Geneva, St. Charles

GENEVA, IL — Kautz Road will reopen to two-way traffic Wednesday as construction continues into the fall, Geneva officials said in an update.

A detour on Kautz Road, as a result of a project between Geneva and St. Charles to widen and reconstruct the road, has affected northbound traffic since September. The overall project is taking place between Swenson Avenue in St. Charles and just north of State Street in Geneva.

Until Wednesday, the detour permits southbound traffic only from Toni Street in St. Charles to Averill Road in Geneva.

City staff anticipates all three lanes of Kautz Road to be open throughout the winter before the final asphalt surface layer, site restoration and remaining construction items will be completed in spring 2025.

Construction was originally scheduled to begin in early June but got postponed while contractors "spent the past several weeks resolving the utility conflicts and relocations." Initial work began in late June.
