More Than $242 Million in Rebuild Illinois Projects Coming to Kane County

Five major Illinois Department of Transportation projects totaling more than $242.5 million are planned for the Kane County area as part of the state’s Rebuild Illinois infrastructure program.

The projects, which are scheduled to begin between spring and summer 2027, will improve safety, mobility and traffic flow along several important Kane County transportation corridors. Construction is expected to be completed between 2027 and 2030.

The five projects include:

• Illinois 47 from Jericho Road to south of Galena Road: Reconstruction is anticipated to begin in summer 2027 and be completed in 2028. One lane of traffic will remain open throughout construction.
• Illinois 47 from Cross Street to Jericho Road: Reconstruction is anticipated to begin in spring 2027 and be completed in 2028. One lane of traffic will remain open throughout construction.
• Illinois 25 at May Lane, Courier Avenue and Seminary Road: Intersection improvements, channelization and culvert replacement are anticipated to begin in spring 2027 and be completed in fall 2027. One lane of traffic will remain open throughout construction.
• U.S. 20 from Illinois 31 to east of Grace Street: Bridge replacement is scheduled to begin in spring 2027 and be completed in 2030. One lane of traffic will remain open throughout construction.
• U.S. 20 west of Randall Road to east of Shales Parkway: Noise wall construction is anticipated to begin in spring 2027 and be completed in 2028. One lane of traffic will remain open throughout construction.
  

“The state’s Rebuild Illinois investments are essential to addressing Kane County’s growing traffic congestion,” said Kane County Board Chair Corinne Pierog. “With a growing population of approximately 526,000 and continued development along the Illinois 47 and U.S. 20 corridors, the $61 million in Rebuild Illinois projects along these key corridors will improve safety, strengthen transportation and support the growth of our communities and developing economy.”

The projects are part of Rebuild Illinois, a $33.2 billion, six-year investment in the state’s transportation system. The program supports improvements across multiple modes of transportation, including roads and bridges, transit, waterways, freight and passenger rail, aviation, and bicycle and pedestrian accommodations.

Through its seventh year, Rebuild Illinois has funded $25.6 billion in improvements statewide, including work on 24,498 miles of highways, 959 bridges and 1,475 additional safety improvements.
