Arlington Heights, IL – Drivers in Arlington Heights should prepare for detours starting the week of September 15, as sections of Kennicott Avenue will be closed to through traffic for two weeks during daytime hours.
According to the Village of Arlington Heights, the closure will stretch from Hintz Road to University Drive between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. each weekday. The project is part of the village’s Street Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Program and is expected to last approximately two weeks, weather permitting.
Contractors will be placing barricades on nearby side streets to direct drivers away from Kennicott Avenue. Local access will be maintained, but commuters are advised to use alternate routes to avoid delays.
The work is aimed at improving roadway conditions and safety in the area. Crews will focus on reconstruction efforts that require full daytime closures, though the road will reopen to traffic each evening.
Motorists traveling between University Drive, Hintz Road, and surrounding neighborhoods should expect longer travel times and plan ahead. Updates on the project are available through the village’s official roadway program website.
