Bunker Road Extension from Keslinger to LaFox Road
Project Manager: Jennifer O'Connell, PE
PROJECT HISTORY
Bunker Road Extension – Keslinger Road to LaFox Road – Engineering and land acquisition are nearing completion to extend Bunker Road from its current northern terminus at the LaFox Metra station to LaFox Road north of the LaFox Village District Center. The project was included in the County's adopted long-range transportation plans since 2004, and identified in the late 1990's as an improvement that could reduce congestion and provide a better north/south connection in the central portion of the County.
The proposed extension incorporates the existing underpass of the UPRR tracks constructed as part of the Metra West Line extension in 2006 to accommodate the Bunker Road extension and a roundabout at the intersection of Bunker and Keslinger Roads.
