Project Overview
The Kane County Division of Transportation has retained the professional engineering services of Crawford, Murphy and Tilly, Inc to complete Phase I Engineering Services for Corridor Improvements between French Road and Harmony Road. The purpose of this project is to establish a continuous north-south arterial in northwestern Kane County, within the Village of Hampshire and unincorporated Kane County, IL. The primary objective is to upgrade and enhance the safety of the users, improve mobility in the northwest region, and enhance system linkage and connectivity of the transportation network in the County. The proposed Phase I Engineering and Environmental Studies will include approximately 1.86 miles of new roadway between IL Route 72 and Allen Road.
The Phase I study will include a crash analysis, analysis of existing and projected traffic demands, environmental studies, utility investigations and the development of a preferred concept for future implementation.
Pedestrian and bicycle accommodations are being studied for the project improvement limits.
It is likely that this improvement will require some land acquisition; however, no residential or commercial displacements are anticipated.
The Phase I study will continue through 2027 and will be submitted for consideration to qualifying federal funding opportunities for further project implementation.
The exhibit below shows the general limits of the Phase I study:
