DeKalb, IL – Drivers in DeKalb County should plan for delays beginning Monday, September 15, as construction starts on Somonauk Road between U.S. Route 30 and Chicago Road.
According to the DeKalb County Engineer, crews will be installing a new hot mix asphalt surface course and a three-foot paved safety shoulder along the stretch of Somonauk Road. The work will be carried out under traffic, meaning the road will remain open, but flaggers will be present to guide vehicles through the construction zone.
Work hours are scheduled from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. The project is expected to continue through the week, with traffic control measures in place throughout. Officials urge motorists to allow extra travel time, drive with caution, and be alert for workers in the area.
Anyone with questions or concerns about the project is encouraged to call the DeKalb County Engineer’s office at 815-756-9513.
