The following road and transportation improvement projects are slated to be carried out by DeKalb County in 2025:
- Barber Greene Road: Resurfacing between Peace Road & Somonauk Road.
- Barber Greene Road: Construction of a bike/pedestrian trail between Peace Road and Loves Road.
- Glidden Road: Reconstruction of the south leg of the intersection with Base Line Road to improve sight distance.
- Peace Road: Replacement of the bridge over the Kishwaukee River and widening of the roadway to 2 lanes in each direction between IL Route 64 and Freed Road. Construction will take place in two stages to allow one-way traffic to flow throughout the duration of the project. One side is slated for completion in 2025, while the second side will be completed in 2026, and work will continue through the winter as the weather allows.
- Somonauk Road: Resurfacing between Chicago Road and US Route 30.
- Somonauk Road: Cross-road culvert extensions between Perry Road and Keslinger Road.
- Several other smaller paving and resurfacing projects are also slated throughout the county. The full Transportation Improvement Plan can be found in the DeKalb County Annual Budget – Click Here.
- I also want to give a shout out to the City of Sycamore for their continued updates and work on the Illinois Route 64 resurfacing scheduled to start soon.
