Roadwork starting at 59, Stearns in Bartlett
The Illinois Department of Transportation begins daily lane closures this week at the intersection of Route 59 and Stearns Road in Bartlett for an intersection improvement project.
Route 59 and Stearns will be reduced to one lane in each direction with turn lanes during the work. Temporary traffic signals have been installed and lane widths will be reduced.
The project includes widening, pavement patching, curb and gutter work, and traffic signal modernization. The project also consists of pedestrian improvements, including new sidewalks on all sides of the intersection.
The overall project is expected to be completed in summer 2019. Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area.
