Route 14 resurfacing in Palatine to start April 13

Resurfacing work on Northwest Highway (Route 14) from Smith Road to Hicks Road, in Palatine, will require daily lane closures beginning, weather permitting, April 13, the Illinois Department of Transportation announced in a news release.

The project, which consists of resurfacing the 1.6-mile stretch of Northwest Highway, constructing new ADA-compliant sidewalk ramps and replacing deteriorated curbs, is expected to be completed in August, according to the release.

Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to flaggers and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits and be on the alert for workers and equipment.
