“The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is resurfacing Route 59 south of Main Street (Lake Cook Road) this summer. Resurfacing work will take place on Route 59 (Hough Street) between Main Street and Hawthorne Road (where Route 59 splits with Barrington Road), and additional roadway sealing work will take place south of the split to Dundee Road. Work also includes replacement of sidewalks at intersections and generally is planned to progress from south to north.
Work will begin with curb sawcutting, which is currently anticipated to commence on Wednesday, June 5. Concrete removal and replacement work will follow, with replacements on the east side completed first followed by those on the west side of the street.
Work will not necessitate any permanent lane closures. Flaggers will be utilized to direct traffic around the work zone, which may impact travel times, please plan accordingly. Any questions or concerns can be reported to IDOT via their online portal.” | Village of Barrington
Editorial note: Many believe this section of Route 59 does not need resurfacing (as was the case last year with Oak Knoll Road), and view this as a waste of tax dollars considering the poor condition of some other local roads.
Many parts of Hough between Hillside and Main are in bad shape, curbs especially, although it does seem a bit premature.
