Hereโ€™s a look from last week, facing west from the center of the new roundabout. The project is really starting to take shape, and itโ€™s starting to look like a roundabout!

The contractor has recently been pouring concrete for the curb, sidewalk and truck apron. The first two layers of pavement are expected to be placed soon. In the coming weeks, crews will also resume installing underground infrastructure for the new street lighting.

The project remains on schedule, with the new roundabout expected to open to traffic in October.

Over the next few weeks, LCDOTโ€™s herbicide contractor will be applying herbicide around guardrails, fences, curbing and paved medians along County-maintained roads and paths.

If you see a flag in the ground, it indicates that herbicide was applied in that area.

Herbicides are one of several methods LCDOT uses to manage roadside vegetation, and we make a conscious effort to limit their use. All contractors applying herbicides on County right-of-way are required to maintain a license issued by the Illinois Department of Agriculture.

LCDOT manages roadside vegetation along approximately 300 miles of County roads and 65+ miles of paths throughout Lake County. Learn more about roadside vegetation management: https://www.lakecountyil.gov/4810

There it is. The new roundabout at Deep Lake Road and Depot Street officially opened to traffic on Friday, August 14, ahead of schedule!

This is the first of two planned roundabouts along Deep Lake Road. A second roundabout is planned for North Avenue in a future construction season as part of a multi-year effort to modernize the Deep Lake Road corridor.

More than 11,000 roundabouts have been installed across the United States. This one is the 13th roundabout maintained by LCDOT.

It's been a while since we checked in on the Washington Street Path Project, and construction is moving along nicely!

The project includes new sidewalks on Washington Street from Sextant Drive to Mainsail Drive and from Tangueray Drive to Almond Road, along with a new bike path connecting Mainsail Drive to US 45 and continuing from US 45 to Almond Road.

The first round of paving is scheduled to begin in a few weeks. Once the retaining wall east of US 45 is complete, the paving contractor will return to finish the remaining 1,200 feet of bike path. The project remains on schedule for substantial completion this fall.

Last night was a busy one for LCDOT crews.

Around 8:30 p.m., a large tree came down across Monaville Road just east of Route 59, blocking the road.

This wasn't a simple cleanup job. Because of the size of the tree and the way it was hung up, crews had to bring in a chipper and skid loader to get the job done safely. Before anyone could start cutting it up, crews made a series of strategic cuts to bring the tree safely to the ground.

It's the kind of work our crews train for, and thanks to their experience and the right equipment, Monaville Road was safely cleared and reopened.

A big thank you to the Lake County IL Sheriff's Office for helping with traffic control while our crews worked.

This intersection was identified in the 2025 Lake County Safety Action Plan after crashes resulted in serious injuries, including crashes involving pedestrians and bicyclists. Before any improvements are considered, we want to hear from those who use it every day.

Visit our virtual public forum now through August 31 to learn about the study and share your ideas and concerns. On the site, you can drop a pin on an interactive map to comment on a specific location.

Your feedback will help shape future improvements.
