Geneva, IL – Drivers in Kane County should prepare for significant traffic delays as construction begins on Keslinger Road the week of September 2.
According to the Kane County Sheriff’s Office, the first phase of work includes earthmoving operations tied to the future intersection of Keslinger and Bunker Roads, scheduled for completion in 2026. Heavy quarry trucks will cross Keslinger at Bunker, with flaggers temporarily stopping traffic to allow safe passage. This phase is expected to run about four weeks, Monday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The sheriff’s office said commuters traveling to the nearby train station will be given priority during morning operations. After the trucking work concludes, crews will begin installing new storm sewer lines at the same location. That phase will bring additional lane closures lasting an estimated two to three weeks.
Officials are urging drivers to anticipate delays and consider alternate routes. “Please reduce your speed, watch for construction workers and vehicles entering or leaving the site, obey flaggers, and follow all posted traffic control signs,” the release stated.
The Kane County Sheriff’s Office also advised motorists to allow extra time for their commutes during the project. Weather permitting, construction will continue through the fall, with further work expected in 2026 when the new intersection is built.
