The Kautz Road reconstruction and widening project is a joint venture between the City of Geneva and St. Charles. Construction 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.

Construction started in June 2024 and is expected to be completed in spring 2025.

Oct. 29 Update

Kautz Road will reopen to two-way traffic Wednesday, Oct. 30 as construction operations continue through the fall.

The City expects to have all three lanes of Kautz Road open throughout the winter. The final asphalt surface layer, site restoration and remaining construction items will be completed in spring 2025.

All construction activities are weather-dependent.
