What Do You Think About the Atkinson Road Extension?

The Atkinson Road extension opened Nov. 22.

Grayslake village officials recently announced that the Atkinson Road extension from Route 120 to Route 137 is now open.

Earlier this year, officials included the long-awaited extension on the 2013/14 improvement list in the village budget. According to the village, the project, which had been planned for nearly 20 years, was paid for primarily with federal highway grants the village obtained.
