The Kane County Division of Transportation is scheduled to perform bridge repair work starting the week of Oct. 8 on Kirk Road south of State Street (Route 38) in Geneva.
Traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction between State and Cherry Lane in order to safely and efficiently patch portions of the concrete bridge deck over the Union Pacific railroad tracks. The anticipated duration for the deck repairs is about four weeks, weather permitting. The improvement, which includes concrete patching and bridge joint repairs, is intended to extend the life of the existing bridge structure.
Drivers in this project area should be prepared to reduce their speed, exercise caution, watch for construction workers and vehicles entering or leaving the site and obey flaggers and other traffic control devices within the work zone.
Motorists should expect delays and should consider the use of alternate routes while this work is completed.
All bicyclists and pedestrians are advised to avoid the area during construction.
Questions and concerns should be directed to Ken Mielke, Kane County Division of Transportation, at 630-406-7172.
