Reasons for the Study
Addressing traffic congestion and improving safety are two of our top priorities. Four highly traveled regional highways converging to this area, frequent trains and three closely spaced intersections along Old McHenry Road have led to high traffic volumes and delays. Approximately 25,000 vehicles pass through the corridor each day and nearly 370 crashes have occurred in this area over the last five years. Watch this video to learn more.
Project Timeline
This project will span multiple years of planning, coordination, and design before construction will begin. Currently, construction is scheduled to begin in 2025 dependent upon project readiness and funding availability. Ensure you stay up to date by signing up for project updates at omxproject.com.
