The widening of Randall Road in Algonquin and Lake in the Hills has reached the point where motorists will be frustrated at lane closures.
Below one can see what was happening last week as utility relocations began:
Here’s what the McHenry County Highway Department says about what is happening:
Work continues on the installation of temporary traffic signals and temporary lighting. Nicor is in the process
of relocating existing utilities along the north side of Algonquin Road near Crystal Lake Rd. Com Ed is tentatively
scheduled to start relocation work the week of 10/22.
Median and shoulder removals, in advance of the installation of temporary pavement, are anticipated to start within 2 weeks.
Work zone speed limit signs have been installed, reducing speeds in some areas. Please obey the posted speed limits.
Gee by the time they’re done so many people will have left the county along with the businesses effected by needless road construction.
