Schaumburg, IL – Drivers in Schaumburg should plan for longer travel times starting Sunday as ongoing Cook County construction on Plum Grove Road is expected to cause significant delays near James B. Conant High School.
According to the Village of Schaumburg, the slowdown will begin August 11 during school pick-up and drop-off hours, impacting students, parents, and other commuters traveling in the area. Officials urge drivers to factor in additional time and to be prepared for congestion as road work continues.
Cook County Transportation and Highways crews will have traffic control devices, arrow boards, and flaggers in place to guide motorists through the work zone. Drivers are advised to follow all posted instructions and remain alert to changing traffic patterns.
The construction is part of an ongoing county infrastructure project, though an estimated completion date for the Plum Grove Road segment has not been provided. The Village stressed that careful driving will be critical during school traffic hours to ensure safety for pedestrians and other vehicles.
