Appointed State Senate Darby Hills seized the opportunity for a photo op celebrating the groundbreaking of the US Route 14 Grade Separation on April 23rd. Last week, Hills submitted her letter of resignation as Trustee for the Village of Barrington Hills effective September 1st.
Temporary Full Route 14 Closure Starting Monday, 9/15
“Please be advised that Route 14 will be fully closed from north of Valencia Road (Ave) to Hough Street beginning Monday, Sept. 15. The work is part of the Route 14 underpass project. The temporary closure, expected to last approximately four weeks, will allow Canadian National Railway to complete the temporary railroad tracks and shift train traffic. Once the railroad work is completed and the gap in the temporary roadway is constructed, Route 14 will reopen to full four-lane traffic on the temporary roadway.
Detour routes will be clearly marked with signage along Hough Street (Route 59) and Main Street (Lake Cook Road) starting Monday morning, Sept. 15. Please reference the combined traffic and detour map below and attached.
Note that all local businesses, including the Barrington Area Library, will remain open and accessible during the closure. Shorely Drive local access will also be maintained for residents.
Please:
- Follow posted detours
- Plan for extra travel time
- Drive cautiously
- Avoid speeding and distracted driving
If you have not already done so, please consider signing up for Route 14 project update emails on the dedicated project website.”
