Notorious Batavia intersection could get a makeover

The intersection of Fabyan Parkway and Route 25 in Batavia has long given travelers headaches due to congestion and backups often associated with its layout.

As Kane County works on roadway realignment to address concerns about traffic delays, a public meeting is scheduled for this month to discuss the project and its impact on residents.

The project will include improvements to the Fabyan Parkway bridge over the Fox River and the intersection at Fabyan Parkway and Route 25.

The Kane County Division of Transportation will hold a meeting from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on May 20 at Covenant Living at the Holmstad in Batavia.

“Project exhibits will be available for viewing, and members of the project team will be present to discuss the proposed improvements and answer questions,” the Division said.

A feasibility study has already been completed for Fabyan Parkway from Illinois Route 31 to Route 25.

The study was conducted to review several realignment options to adjust Fabyan Parkway and the intersection.

“Options were considered to increase the capacity of the intersection to address traffic delay concerns,” the Division said.

The study lasted two years, examining traffic volumes, crash histories, and other factors that could affect and influence the project.
