WAUCONDA - The Lake County Division of Transportation will close Darrell Road, Fisher Road and Dowell Road to through traffic for 140 days beginning at 5 a.m. May 27.
The closure is necessary to construct two new roundabouts: one at Darrell Road and Fisher Road, and the other at Darrell Road and Dowell Road.
Roundabouts provide safer and more efficient traffic flow in many locations because traffic moves slower and in only one direction. Nationally, they are a proven safety countermeasure to substantially reduce crashes that result in serious injury or death.
The two new roundabouts are being constructed as part of the Darrell Road Corridor Improvement Project. Construction this year will include a bike path between Fisher Road and Case Road/Neville Road, and a portion of the path will be a part of the Grand Illinois Trail.
Detour Route:
The work zone will be closed to all traffic.
