Road Projects Continue Throughout Buffalo Grove

BUFFALO GROVE, IL — Drive around town and you're sure to see a road construction project in progress. The Village of Buffalo Grove updated residents in its latest newsletter on the status of some projects. Here's a recap of where things are at:

Lake Cook Road Project — All areas of this project have traffic reduced to one lane in each direction, with work taking place within the closed work zones. Work will progress in all areas over the summer/fall, and will include several traffic shifts, according to the newsletter. The project will slow down as winter approaches, and Lake Cook Road will be expanded back to two lanes in each direction. This expansion will be in place for the winter, and will shift back to one lane in each direction, and heavy construction in the spring of 2021. More information can be found on the County’s website here: cookcountylcr.org/.

Weiland Road Project — From Lake Cook Road to Deerfield, half the roadway is complete with work now underway on the other half. This section of Weiland Road is planned to be completed in 2020. The section from Deerfield Parkway to Aptakisic Road got started earlier this year and includes one half of the road in 2020, according to the newsletter. Traffic will be shifted onto the new road section this coming winter, with the remainder being finished in 2021. More information can be found on the County’s website here: weilandproject.com/.

Buffalo Grove Road Project — The contractor is working heavily on Buffalo Grove Road from Aptakisic Road to Route 22. They plan on completing this section of roadway, making it all four lanes for winter, according to the newsletter. They will then shift to working on Buffalo Grove Road from Deerfield Parkway to Aptakisic Road in 2021. More information can be found on the County’s website here: lakecountyil.gov/3390/.

Buffalo-Grove-Road Saxon/Downing Project — This project has finished up the water main replacement on Selwyn, Downing and Eton. That area is now being cleaned so the street improvements can begin, according to the newsletter. Work is focused on Charles Court, with a plan to move to Saxon Place and Anthony Court next.

Apple Hill/Tenerife Project — Work is progressing quickly with all concrete replacement complete. The contractor removed the old roadway and is now working to build it back up to a new, final surface, according to the newsletter. Work is expected to finish on this project in mid-August.

Thompson and Brandywyn Project — This project is wrapping up its first phase on the west half of Brandywyn and south half of Thompson. Crews will then move to the east side of Brandywyn and north half of Thompson to complete the same type of work. The same detour will be in effect following this traffic shift. Once all work is complete. Crews will pave the final layer of asphalt, complete turf restoration and any other outstanding items. This project is projected to complete in late October this year.

Green Knolls/Gail Project — This project only began in early July. Crews will work their way around the area to complete curb and aprons on one side of the street, followed by the other side. The road will then be removed and replaced as a same-day operation, progressing around the neighborhood, according to the newsletter. All of this work will continue through the middle of October 2020.

Checker/Hidden Lake Project — The contractor began at Checker Drive in early July to replace the broken concrete at Route 83. Crews are now working through Hidden Lake Drive to replace any failed sections of curb or pavement, according to the newsletter. The area will be congested; however all roads will remain open during the work which should be completed by late July.
