Buffalo Grove Road Reopens As Work Continues On 2-Year Project

BUFFALO GROVE, IL — All lanes on Buffalo Grove Road between IL 22 and Aptakisic Road are now open, according to the Lake County Division of Transportation. Lane closures will be needed at times during the day to complete landscaping, the concrete sidewalk and miscellaneous clean up work as part of the two-year project.

Buffalo Grove Road from Deerfield Pkwy to IL 22 will be completely reconstructed to provide two lanes of travel in each direction. This includes a center median and turn lanes at all major intersections, according to the Lake County Division of Transportation. A new traffic signal will be installed at the intersection of Thompson Blvd. Crosswalks at each street crossing will be improved and upgraded to ADA standards. Crews will also connect the bike path gap between Aptakisic Road and Brandywyn Lane making it easier for residents to walk and bike to local parks, schools and shopping areas.

Work will continue on Buffalo Grove Road throughout December as weather allows. The Lack County Division of Transportation is advising drivers to watch for workers, flaggers and trucks coming in and out of the job site.

Construction will take place over a two-year period using a staged approach:

• 2020 - North Section: Focused construction on Buffalo Grove Road from IL 22 to Aptakisic Road, with minor impacts south of Aptakisic.
• 2021 - South Section: Focused construction on Buffalo Grove Road from Aptakisic Road to Deerfield Pkwy. This includes intersection improvements at Buffalo Grove Road and Aptakisic Road, which will extend to slightly north of Aptakisic.
