Work to rehabilitate the Higgins Road (Route 72) bridge over the Fox River in East and West Dundee is set to begin Thursday, July 9, weather permitting, the Illinois Department of Transportation said.
Higgins Road from Third Street to River Street will be reduced to one lane in each direction, with lane widths reduced to 10.3 feet. In addition, left turns from Higgins Road onto Water and River streets will not be allowed. A recommended alternate route is Van Buren Street.
Access to businesses within the work zone will be maintained during construction.
Well, if you thought to cross the river in Dundee instead of waiting 20 minutes to cross in Algonquin this sure won’t help! Are they conditioning us so that when LongMeadow Parkway is opened we will all be sooo Happy?
