Progress Bar (Design)

Current Information



The project is in Phase II engineering design and construction document preparation. The proposed improvements are currently with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) for permit review. Once Phase II is completed, the project will transfer to IDOT to complete Phase III construction. The proposed intersection improvements include:

  • The addition of a southbound right turn lane and left turn lane on US41, a second left turn lane on northbound US41, a second right turn lane on eastbound Stearns School Road, an additional westbound receiving lane on Stearns School Road, and intersection radii improvements.
  • Storm sewer laterals, including the 36” culvert under Stearns School Road, will be extended due to the roadway widening. US41 median storm sewer will also be reconstructed to account for the new median configuration on the south leg of US41.
  • Relocation of the existing 8-inch ductile iron water main to address multiple recorded repairs and to relocate the water main outside of the proposed pavement.
