Dundee Road Closures Due To End In December

NORTHBROOK, IL — There is an end in sight for construction on Dundee Road in Northbrook, village staff announced. The Illinois Department of Transportation plans to begin paving next week and anticipates three more weeks of roadway reconstration.

The department expects its contractor to have Dundee Road open the week of Dec. 9, according to village staff. That's nearly eight months of closures from a project that had been anticipated to take six months and be complete by Halloween.

In the spring, contractors will finish reconstructing Lee Road between Shermer and Dundee roads. While there will be lane closures during that work, Dundee Road itself will remain open in both directions throughout.

The total price tag of the project was estimated at $6.5 million. The village covered a little more than 10 percent of that, picking up $680,000 of the cost
