LaFox Road work for roundabout to continue in 2026

Work on LaFox Road to install a roundabout is expected to continue in 2026 in Kane County.

LaFox Road, between Keslinger Road and Route 38, reopened to traffic with a new lane configuration on Nov. 18, according to the Kane County Division of Transportation Office.

The new curved alignment accommodates necessary stormwater detention. In addition, the work is expected to help traffic flow more efficiently to the Metra station once the full project is complete, according to the office.

Looking ahead, work planned for 2026 will shift traffic onto the newly constructed portions of Bunker Road north of the Union Pacific Railroad tracks.

The temporary routing will allow crews to close the intersection at Keslinger and Bunker roads to construct the new roundabout.

Throughout all phases of construction, commuters traveling to the Metra station will continue to have access.
