Route 14 road closures ahead in Barrington

Route 14 will be reduced to one lane in each direction between Valencia Avenue and Hough Street in Barrington beginning Aug. 4, as part of work to construct an underpass below the Canadian National Railway tracks.

A temporary full closure of Route 14 will begin as early as Sept. 15, and will last for approximately four weeks so CN can complete temporary railroad tracks and shift train traffic.

A detour will shift traffic to Lake-Cook Road and Hough Street. Once the rail line is raised and the gap in the temporary roadway is constructed, Route 14 will reopen with full four-lane traffic.
