Officials from Kane County and the village of Burlington celebrated a historic groundbreaking ceremony Thursday, Aug. 7, 2014, for a $5 million project that will take the “jog” out of the road, improve traffic flow and create economic development opportunities for the village and Kane County as a whole. The project was decades in the making and required partnerships and coordination that was, in its own way, groundbreaking, as well.

More information on the project and groundbreaking is coming soon on Kane County Connects.
