Construction Season: Hunt Club, Wadsworth Roads to Close May 9

The Lake County Division of Transportation will close the intersection of Hunt Club Road at Wadsworth Road to all traffic for 60 days, starting at 7 a.m. May 9.

The closure is necessary to allow the County's contractor, Campanella and Sons, Inc. to construct a roundabout to replace the existing multi-way stop intersection. The roundabout as designed will reduce crashes and crash severity as well as increase efficiency of the intersection.

For this closure there will be two signed detour routes:

Hunt Club Road: the signed detour route will be Illinois Route 173, Rosecrans Road, to U.S. Route 45, to Millburn Road, Lake County Route A-14. Local traffic will be allowed on Hunt Club Road from Illinois Route 173 to the work area and from the work area to Millburn Road but the work area for the roundabout will be closed to all traffic.

Wadsworth Road: the signed detour will be Hunt Club Road, to Stearns School Road, Lake County Route A-16, to Dilleys Road, Lake County Route W-16. Again, local traffic will have access on Wadsworth Road from Dilleys Road to the roundabout work area but the work area itself will be closed to all traffic.
