Project Overview

CBBEL completed Phase I and Phase II Engineering on behalf of the Village of Algonquin for the reconstruction of Main Street. This project consisted of Phase I and Phase II Engineering for the reconstruction of Main Street from the IL 31 South Junction to the IL 31 North Junction, a distance of approximately 1.1 miles. The Western Algonquin Bypass (IL 31) was opened in the fall of 2014, and Main Street (Old IL 31) was jurisdictionally transferred to the Village of Algonquin.

The purpose of the Main Street improvements is to reconstruct the roadway based on reduced traffic volumes and to address deficient pavement condition, address sidewalk and bike path gaps, and to provide an integrated Algonquin downtown center south of IL 62 which is friendly to pedestrians, slows passenger vehicles, and encourages truck traffic to use the IL 31 Bypass.

CBBEL prepared a State-Approved Categorical Exclusion Phase I Project Development Report in accordance with Federal Project Development procedures, which was approved by the Illinois Department of Transportation in June 2017.
