The Kane County Division of Transporation will begin earthmoving operations and roadway construction on Keslinger Road the week of Sept. 2, 2025, weather permitting. This work is part of the planned construction of the new intersection at Keslinger and Bunker Roads, scheduled for 2026.

The first phase will involve large highway quarry trucks crossing Keslinger Road at Bunker Road. Traffic will be stopped periodically by flaggers to allow trucks to cross safely. This activity will take place during off-peak commuter hours, Monday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and is expected to last approximately four weeks. Morning commuters traveling to the train station will be watched for and given preference during operations.

Following this phase, crews will begin installing new storm sewer lines across Keslinger Road at the same location. This work will require temporary daily lane closures, also during off-peak hours, and is expected to take an additional two to three weeks to complete.

Drivers should anticipate delays while traveling through the area and are encouraged to allow extra time for their commutes.

Kane County’s annual asphalt rejuvenator program is scheduled to begin the week of Sept. 2, weather permitting. The lone Geneva project on the County's list is a stretch of Fabyan Parkway near Western Avenue.

The program applies an asphalt sealer and rejuvenator to roads that were resurfaced within the last year, helping extend the life of the pavement. This preventative maintenance reduces oxidation of the asphalt and prevents water from seeping in, protecting against freeze/thaw damage during the winter months.

Work will begin in the central part of Kane County and progress south over the course of four to five weeks, depending on weather conditions. Construction hours will be from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

During this time, roads will remain open, but traffic will be reduced to one lane with the use of flaggers and temporary daily lane closures. Drivers are encouraged to use caution in the work zones, watch for crews and equipment, and avoid driving on the treated roadway until directed by flaggers.
