The north leg of White Chapel Road will close for up to three weeks to allow construction crews room to place new pavement as part of the ongoing Longmeadow Parkway project.

The north part of the intersection will remain closed to traffic for two to three weeks, starting Friday, Aug. 18, the Kane County Division of Transportation said in a Monday news release.

Traffic will still have access to the south leg of White Chapel at Longmeadow Parkway during the work. Motorists are asked to find alternate routes during the work period and to avoid the intersection if possible.

Motorists are asked to exercise care and reduce speed while driving through the construction zone, obey flaggers and watch out for construction equipment entering and leaving the project site.

The Longmeadow Parkway Fox River Bridge Corridor is a planned tree-lined parkway and Fox River Bridge crossing with a landscaped median, approximately 5.6 miles in length, running from Huntley Road to IL Route 62. The proposed road passes through portions of the villages of Algonquin, Carpentersville and Barrington Hills, as well as unincorporated areas of Kane County and is designed to relieve congestion, encourage economic development, improve travel options and connect towns and neighborhoods.

Additional information is available on the Longmeadow Parkway page of the Kane County Division of Transportation website.

Questions and concerns may be directed to David Boesch, chief of construction with the Kane County Division of Transportation, at 630-845-7875.
