Reconstruction of Kautz Road from Geneva to St. Charles to begin this month
A widening and reconstruction of 1.56 miles of Kautz Road from Swenson Avenue in St. Charles to Longest Drive in Geneva will begin at the end of this month, St. Charles and Geneva officials announced in a news release.
The estimated $6.35 million project will replace failing pavement, enhance freight mobility, mitigate drainage issues, complete trail connectivity, improve safety measures and support economic development in the area.
Portions of the construction schedule will require detours.
The project should be substantially completed by the end of the year, with landscape restoration and other punch list items happening in spring 2025.
Nearly $5 million of the cost will be paid by the Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program, Truck Access Route Program and the Kane/Kendall Council of Mayors Surface Transportation Program, according to an intergovernmental agreement between St. Charles and Geneva.
Geneva will pay $936,600 of the remaining construction cost and $413,639 to TranSystems Engineering in Schaumburg for the engineering.
St. Charles will pay $440,753 of the remaining construction costs and $194,639 to TranSystem Engineering for the engineering.
