The Illinois Department of Transportation announced that the north leg of Dugan Road at the intersection with U.S. 30 will be closed beginning, weather permitting, Monday, Aug. 24.

A detour will be posted utilizing Wheeler Road, Heartland Drive and Waubonsee Drive.

The closure is expected to remain place until Sept. 15.

The closure is part of the ongoing intersection improvements being made at U.S. 30 and Dugan Road. That project is slated to end in January.

Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to flaggers and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits and be on the alert for workers and equipment

About the Project

The Illinois Department of Transportation (Department) has initiated preliminary engineering and environmental (Phase I) studies to identify potential improvements to the U.S. 30 corridor between IL 47 on the east and Dugan Road on the west. The U.S. 30 Project is incorporating the principles of Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS), designed to engage all project stakeholders in the development of cost effective transportation facilities.

The U.S. 30 Project will study potential improvements and widening of this study corridor. It is anticipated that the Project will have an 18-month schedule. The Department’s preliminary engineering and environmental (Phase I) project is funded. Contract plan preparation and land acquisition (Phase II) will begin once design approval is granted. Construction (Phase III) will commence when funding is secured.

The U.S. 30 corridor project is approximately 2.6 miles in length with an eastern terminus at IL 47 and a western terminus at Dugan Road. The two side streets that intersect U.S. 30, Veterans Memorial Parkway and Municipal Drive, have project limits extending 750 feet along each segment. The two intersections at the west portion of the Project have been advanced from the overall project study, with the intersection of Dugan Road and Granart Road being undertaken by the Village of Sugar Grove, and the intersection of Dugan Road and U.S. 30 being expedited by the Department. The results of these two advanced studies will be reflected in the overall Phase I study for the Project.
