Fremont Center Rd
Limits: About 500' in all directions from the intersection of IL60 in unincorporated Lake County
Description: The project will realign Fremont Center Rd to meet IL60 near 90 degrees and install new signal to improve safety. Project will require a summer closure and detour of Fremont Center Rd.
Current Information
Project was completed in April 2022. Thanks for your patience!

An engineering study began in 2012 for the improvement of the Fremont Center Road/IL Route 60 intersection and the extension of Fremont Center Road north to the recently realigned Peterson Road. During the course of that study, it was determined that a larger long range planning study should be performed to develop an appropriate roadway network able to accommodate future development as well as anticipated changes in travel patterns due to the IL Route 53/IL Route 120 project. This planning study will analyze proposed improvements to the Fremont Center Road/IL Route 60 intersection and various extension alternatives for Fremont Center Road, as well as to the roadways within the area bounded by Peterson Road, IL Route 60, and IL Route 83. Once the future County roadway network needs have been determined, detailed studies will be performed focusing on the area around the IL Route 60 and Fremont Center Road intersection. The study will not only investigate vehicular accommodations but will also consider bicycle and pedestrian accommodations, including connections to the Ray Lake Forest Preserve as part of the Fort Hill Trail.
- 1/4/21- The Lake County Division of Transportation (LCDOT) is currently studying safety improvements to the intersection of Fremont Center Road and IL 60. Through the project study process, it was determined that safety would be improved by realigning Fremont Center Road to intersect IL 60 closer to a 90 degree angle, and include a traditional traffic signal. The intersection will also be widened to include turn lanes for all turning movements. The new Fremont Center Road alignment matches potential future roadway alignments in the area. This project is nearly complete with Phase II engineering. Land acquisition is nearly complete for the impacted parcels. Utility companies will begin relocating their facilities in early 2021. Construction is anticipated to begin in summer 2021. A detour of Fremont Center Road is planned during construction. The project is estimated to cost $2.5 million.
- 3/11/19 - The Lake County Division of Transportation (LCDOT) is currently studying safety improvements to the intersection of Fremont Center Road and IL 60. Through the project study process, it was determined that safety would be improved by realigning Fremont Center Road to intersect IL 60 closer to a 90 degree angle, and include a traditional traffic signal. The intersection will also be widened to include turn lanes for all turning movements. The new Fremont Center Road alignment matches potential future roadway alignments in the area. This project is in Phase II engineering, where the design work and right of way acquisition process are expected to take approximately 2 years. The project is estimated to cost $2.5 million for construction, which is currently programmed for 2019.
- 8/23/17 - A Public Hearing for the Phase I Study of Fremont Center Road was held on Tuesday, Aug. 22 at Fremont Intermediate School. The hearing presented: • Preferred intersection improvement plan • Right-of-way impacts • Project schedule
- 5/19/17 - The Lake County Division of Transportation (LCDOT) held the second Public Information Meeting (PIM) for potential roadway improvements to the intersection of Fremont Center Road and IL Route 60 on May 18. The study also includes the area bounded by Peterson Road, IL Route 60, and IL Route 83 in the Village of Grayslake, the Village of Mundelein, and Fremont Township.
- 1/25/2016 - The first Stakeholder Involvement Group Meeting was held in August of 2015. The members discussed the stakeholder involvement process, the project implementation process, the project background, existing conditions, project needs, and potential solutions.
- 3/3/16 - Conceptual alternatives have been developed based upon the information gathered and were presented at the second Stakeholder Involvement Group Meeting held March 3, 2016. At the meeting, three concepts were presented for stakeholder group input, and the results will be considered as the project team works to refine the project alternatives. A Public Information Meeting will be held in early summer 2016 to present these conceptual alternatives to the public.
