The village of Barrington Hills is making plans to improve the 5-mile stretch of Algonquin Road between Routes 25 and 68.
Algonquin Road, also known as Route 62, is being studied to determine whether it should be widened.
The project is in Phase 1, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2020. Phase 1 should cost about $3.5 million, said Guy Tridgell, director of communications for the Illinois Department of Transportation.
The improvements are in response to the construction of the Longmeadow Parkway Tollway Bridge, Barrington Hills Village President Martin McLaughlin said. The bridge will span the Fox River and connect Randall Road in the west to Algonquin Road in the east, increasing traffic by about 8,000 cars on Algonquin Road.
