Klasen Road Closure Starts Monday

Klasen Road will be closed east of Route 31 starting Monday at 6 a.m. 

Klasen Road is expected to be closed through August. A posted detour will guide residents to the west end of Klasen Road from Cary-Algonquin Road. 

The improvements for Route 31 at Virginia Road/Klasen Road Widening and Reconstruction include:

• Route 31 will be widened and reconstructed to provide two through lanes in each direction and dedicated left and right turn lanes at the Virginia Road and Klasen Road intersections.
• Realignment of the Virginia Road intersection to the north to improve safety.
• New turn lanes on Virginia Road and Klasen Road at their intersections with Route 31.
• Modernized traffic signals at both the Klasen Road and Virginia Road intersections.

This approximately $8.5 million improvement project is being funded in part by the Illinois Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Transportation Bill SAFETEA-LU.
