Starting March 11, 2016, Dauberman Road will be closed to traffic between U.S. Route 30 and Scott Road in order to remove and replace the existing bridge. Construction work hours will be from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday through the end of July, weather permitting.

The roadway improvements will include:

• Removal and replacement of the existing bridge structure
• Ditch and embankment grading
• Reconstruction of Dauberman Road in advance of bridge structure

A posted detour route will direct traffic around the closure using US Route 30, Davis Road and Scott Road. Local traffic only will be permitted within the road closure. Motorists should be advised to follow the posted detour route around the project and to expect increase travel times.

Questions and concerns may be directed to Ken Mielke (630) 406-7172. For all Kane County Traffic Advisories, see KDOT Traffic Alerts.
