Kautz Road Construction Resumes After Winter Break

GENEVA, IL — After pausing for winter, the Kautz Road widening project is underway again.

Geneva officials said work is “slowly resuming” as of Thursday. Efforts are being directed to the bike trail and parkway restoration.

The contractor expects to schedule the final road resurfacing within the next two weeks, weather permitting. There will be intermittent lane closures with flaggers directing traffic, but the road will remain open, and drivers should expect potential delays.

The project is a joint venture between St. Charles and Geneva, with construction taking place between Swenson Avenue in St. Charles and north of State Street in Geneva.

The scope of the work is to replace failing pavement, enhance freight mobility, mitigate drainage issues, complete trail connectivity, improve safety measures and support economic development in the area.

Work is expected to be completed this spring, officials said.
