Kane County is continuing its bridge improvement work, this time on Thatcher Road between Beith Road and McNulty Road.

Starting the week of May 19, 2014, Thatcher Road will be closed to traffic at Virgil Ditch #1, which is located between Beith Road and McNulty Road.  Work to replace the bridge will continue through September, weather permitting.

Project improvements include removal of existing structure, construction of new reinforced concrete slab structure and bridge approaches, pavement removal, roadway reconstruction and resurfacing.

A posted detour route will direct traffic around the closure using Meredith Road, IL Route 38 and County Line Road. The public is advised to follow the posted detour route around the project and to expect increased travel times.
