The weather is warming up which means construction on the Buffalo Grove Road reconstruction project has resumed!
Work on the north section of Buffalo Grove Road, from IL 22 to Aptakisic Road, will wrap up this spring. Crews will be completing asphalt paving, constructing a bike path between Aptakisic Road and Brandywyn Lane, and installing street lights.
Construction on the south section of Buffalo Grove Road, from Deerfield Pkwy to Apatakisic Road, is underway as well. Crews will widen this section of the road to two lanes in each direction, replace center medians and turn lanes at intersections, install new traffic signals at the intersection of Thompson Blvd and Buffalo Grove Road, and more. Work is on schedule and is expected to be completed by the end of fall 2021.
We thank everyone for their patience as construction continues. No road closures are expected, as at least one lane of traffic will be open in each direction. Please drive carefully through the work zones, and watch for workers and trucks coming in and out of the job site.

About the Project
Description: Buffalo Grove Road from Deerfield Pkwy to IL 22 will be completely reconstructed to provide two lanes of travel in each direction. This includes a center median and turn lanes at all major intersections. A new traffic signal will be installed at the intersection of Thompson Blvd. Crosswalks at each street crossing will be improved and upgraded to ADA standards.
Crews will also connect the bike path gap between Aptakisic Road and Brandywyn Lane making it easier for residents to walk and bike to local parks, schools and shopping areas.
Temporary lane closures may occur a few hours per day to complete major work.
Construction will take place over a two-year period using a staged approach:
-
North Section: Focused construction on Buffalo Grove Road from IL 22 to Aptakisic Road, with minor impacts south of Aptakisic.
-
South Section: Focused construction on Buffalo Grove Road from Aptakisic Road to Deerfield Pkwy. This includes intersection improvements at Buffalo Grove Road and Aptakisic Road, which will extend to slightly north of Aptakisic.
