Burlington Road will continue to be closed to traffic between Dittman Road and Plato Road due to a delay in roadway lighting installation.
The intersection improvement includes construction of a new roundabout. For additional information on this project and roundabouts, please visit this page of the Kane County Division of Transportation website.
Construction work hours will be from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday until mid-December 2016
The roadway improvements will include:
- Reconstruction of the intersection to accommodate a roundabout.
- Ditch and embankment grading.

A posted detour route will direct traffic around the closure using Silver Glen Road, Burlington Road, Dittman Road and Plato Road. (See the map below.)
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.
