Rakow Road Construction Work Nearing End


The McHenry County Division of Transportation is still monitoring the entire Rakow corridor.  They are looking at traffic signal installations, timings and “No Turn on Red” requirements.
 
Once the roadways are operational for a time allowing “normal” traffic patterns to resume, traffic counts will be analyzed to see if adjustments are required.  This will be a continual process.  All of the signals along Rakow are interconnected in an attempt to make travel along Rakow more efficient, although that comes with some disadvantages for cross road traffic


Please continue to watch for crews as minor clean-up tasks are taken care of before the winter weather really starts.  Expect to see work at the intersections for the signals and at McHenry for the street lighting system.

 
Thank you and happy new year!  New photos have been posted to the Photos page!  Click here to view!


Editorial Note: There are also some interesting facts regarding materials used on the road.
