The Cities of Geneva and St. Charles plan to start the Kautz Road reconstruction and widening project at the end of May.

Construction on Kautz Road will occur from Swenson Avenue in St. Charles to just north of State Street (Route 38) in Geneva. The project will replace failing pavement, enhance freight mobility, mitigate drainage issues, complete trail connectivity, improve safety measures, and support economic development in the area.

The contractor will begin mobilizing equipment the week of May 20 with operations scheduled to get underway this month. The project is expected to be substantially completed by the end of the year, with landscape restoration and other punch list items being finished in spring 2025. Portions of the construction schedule will require detours.

More project information can be found on the City of Geneva’s Kautz Road Widening web page. The public can subscribe for “road construction” updates by visiting Notify Me on the City’s website.
