Route 14 closure starts Monday in section of Barrington
Drivers who use Route 14 between Lake-Cook Road and Route 59 in Barrington need to be ready for what could be up to a 10-day closure to accommodate railroad crossing work starting Monday morning.
Canadian National Railway is scheduled to start resurfacing its Route 14 crossing near Lake Zurich Road. CN officials said the project could keep a stretch of the thoroughfare closed between Lake-Cook and Route 59 for up to 10 days, from Monday until June 14.
Local traffic will be allowed to reach businesses, houses, the Barrington Area Library and the village's public safety building, according to CN and the Illinois Department of Transportation.
Barrington officials are urging the use of two detours through the village's downtown during the CN construction.
Drivers who typically travel northwest on Route 14 should go west on Lake-Cook to Route 59/Hough Street. After traveling north on Route 59, drivers can turn left onto Route 14.
Those going southeast on Route 14 will need to turn right on Route 59 and left onto Lake-Cook Road, known as Main Street in Barrington. They can resume their southeast trip where Route 14 meets Lake-Cook.
