County to Replace Sidewalk, Bike Path Along Kirk Road in Geneva
The Kane County Division of Transportation will be removing and replacing sidewalk and the bike path along both sides of Kirk Road at the Illinois Prairie Path crossing starting the week of July 13.
The work will make the crossing at Kirk Road compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act.
The removal and replacement of sidewalk and bike path will take place along the west and east sides of Kirk Road at Illinois Prairie Path crossing, 1,500 feet north of Averill Circle, on Kirk will begin. Construction work hours will be from 7 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. each day for about two weeks, weather permitting.
During construction, the county will close the Illinois Prairie Path between East Side Drive and Kautz Road, and drivers can expect temporary lane closures on Kirk Road from Monday through Saturday during the two weeks of construction.
The Kane County Division of Transportation asks drivers to watch for bike path closure signs, men working and flaggers, and to reduced speed while traveling through the construction zone. Motorists should expect delays, increased travel times during the traffic signal updates and are advised to consider alternate routes during the work.
Questions and concerns may be directed to John Guddendorf (630) 816-9671.
For all Kane County traffic advisories, see KDOT Traffic Alerts.
