Randall Road Traffic Signal Improvements Continue on Crane Road April 28
On April 28, 2016, the removal and replacement of traffic signal mast arms and equipment will take place on Randall Road at the intersection of Crane Road.
To provide minimal traffic disruption, the work will require closure of the side streets on this day from 7 a.m. to about 3 p.m. Randall Road traffic will be allowed to flow without stopping at the intersection while the traffic signals are being worked on during the scheduled shutdown.
Motorists will not be allowed to turn off of Randall Road during the closures of the side streets and are advised to use Bolcum Road, Ridgewood Drive, Red Haw Lane, Silver Glen Road, Red Gate Road, and IL Route 64 as alternate routes for east/west travel. For north/south alternate routes, motorists are advised to use Burr Road and IL Route 31.
No turns will be allowed at this intersection on the day of the closure. Changeable message boards will be placed in several locations to provide advance warning to motorists of the intersection closings.
On the day of an intersection closure, the process will include:
- Setting up barricades, cones, and traffic control to prevent access to the side streets
- Placement of new wiring and equipment on the mast arms
- Adjustment of the wiring in the Traffic Controller Cabinet
- Testing of the new equipment
- Removal of existing mast arms and equipment
Temporary lane closures along Randall Road will be required to accomplish this work. Please watch for flaggers and workers while traveling through the construction zone. Motorists should expect delays, increased travel times during the process, and are advised to consider alternate routes during this work.
Upon completion of the work at this intersection, the new traffic signals will operate as they did prior to the work starting. There will be protected left turns from Randall Road utilizing typical left turn arrows in a red, yellow, and green sequence.
Questions and concerns may be directed to Dave Boesch (630) 584-1170. For all Kane County Traffic Advisories, see KDOT Traffic Alerts.
