Open House Information On Algonquin Road Extension -- TOMORROW

The McHenry County Division of Transportation (MCDOT) cordially invites all persons interested in the project to attend an Open House Public Meeting concerning the proposed improvement plan for the Algonquin Road Extension from Illinois Route 47 to Brier Hill Road. 

The Public Open House will be held on:

When:             Tuesday, October 4th, 2011 – 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Where:           Leggee Elementary School Cafeteria
                        13723 Harmony Road
                        Huntley, IL 60142

This Public Open House will provide the public with a project update and allow the opportunity to express suggestions, ideas and concerns as the McHenry County Division of Transportation moves forward with finalizing the proposed alignment of the Algonquin Road Extension over the Union Pacific railroad tracks.

The purpose of the project is to provide connectivity for east-west regional travel across the southern half of McHenry County. The need for the project is based upon high travel times, low operating speeds, and crash frequency along the existing east-west corridor. To address this purpose and need, two existing County arterials, Algonquin Road and Harmony Road, will be realigned with roadway improvements that meet modern design standards. The proposed improvement will increase capacity, increase operating speeds, lower travel times, and improve safety.

Additional information can be found on the project website at www.mchenrycountydot.org.
