Tree Removal For Johnsburg Road

The McHenry County Division of Transportation is announcing the beginning of tree removal necessary for the Johnsburg Road improvement project.  The removal of trees along the project is needed in order to accommodate utility relocations in preparation for the roadwork for Johnsburg Road. 

Tree removal will begin next week and is expected to take one month to finish.  All work is expected to be completed with minimal traffic delays and flaggers will be present when crews are working near the road.

The Johnsburg Road Improvement Project is being undertaken by the McHenry County Division of Transportation.  The overall project will provide a three lane road between Illinois Route 31 and Chapel Hill Road, one travel lane in each direction with a continuous center turn lane.

 The project also includes two new traffic signals at the Riverside Drive and Spring Grove Road intersections as well as a modern roundabout at the Chapel Hill Road / St. Johns Avenue intersection.  Additional improvements will include lowering the hill west Riverside Drive and adding decorative enhancements such as lighting, new sidewalks, brick paver accents, benches and other amenities in downtown Johnsburg.

The road construction portion of this project is anticipated to go out for bid later this year.
