REMINDER: In Illinois, cars/trucks must stop for pedestrian traffic. IDOT’s website and the Illinois Rules of the Road make this very clear:
A driver must come to a complete stop (and yield)
- when a pedestrian is in a marked crosswalk,
- on school days, when children are close to a school zone crosswalk,
- when making a turn at any intersection.
OCTOBER 17, 2024
Expect to see crews on site over the next few weeks completing landscaping work; they will also complete cleanup and the few remaining tasks along the roadway. Please watch for crews and short-term lane closures. Most of the work is outside the pavement, but some tasks need trucks to offload equipment/material. Crews installed flashing beacons at the crosswalk that will eventually connect the pedestrian path to the Schaumburg Metra Station. That South Access Road is not open to traffic yet (nor is the pedestrian path that leads from Rodenburg Road back to the Metra station); that roadway is being used by the developer’s contractors to access their site. Watch the Progress Report for updates as the developer completes work and opens that area for traffic and pedestrians.

OCTOBER 3, 2024
The new Rodenburg Road opens to traffic tomorrow afternoon! Since closing the road seven months ago, crews removed the old roadway, installed a new storm sewer system, created the new base, installed two layers of stone, installed curb/gutter and created the new asphalt roadway. In the past month, we resurfaced from Timberleaf Circle South to Central Avenue. In the past week, we installed the new pavement markings and signs. The connection with the Roselle and Schaumburg pedestrian paths provides walkers/cyclists a safe path across the Metra/CPKC railroad tracks. There is still some work to complete. Crews must install the remaining landscaping and new roadway lighting system from the railroad north to Irving Park Road.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2024
Crews will install the final layer of asphalt tomorrow. There will be short delays as crews pass each cross street. The material must be compacted and cooled before allowing traffic on it. We work diligently to make sure the compactors cross each side street right behind the asphalt paver. Please watch closely for flaggers and follow their directions. The asphalt is upwards of 320º when it arrives to the project; we do not want that material sticking to your tires or shoes. The flaggers are there to help keep crews, you and your vehicle safe. The roadway remains closed to traffic. Pavement marking and sign installation crews are scheduled for next week. Pavement marking work is very weather-dependent. We will open the road to traffic after all the pavement markings and signs are in place.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2024
Crews installed a thin layer of asphalt material and are raising the utility structures to the final surface grade. Please use extra caution as you drive around those structures; they are two inches higher than the surrounding pavement. Crews will be installing the new traffic signal detection loops in the southbound lanes at Central Avenue on Saturday, September 21 starting at 8am. There are a few more items of work to finish before installing the final roadway surface. Crews will complete more of the landscaping along the edges of the roadway, finish a few concrete curb and median items and install the new fences along the Schaumburg Regional Airport and south of the railroad along the pedestrian path. The roadway remains closed to traffic; we are actively scheduling its reopening.

Crews will be installing a spray of fresh oil to prepare the roadway for the new asphalt. That operation will start at 5:30am on Tuesday, September 17. Extra effort will be done to minimize the disturbance to neighboring homes. Crews will then be installing the first thin layer of new asphalt between Central Avenue and Timberleaf Circle on Wednesday, September 18. Please use extra caution during that operation. Once crews have completed the compaction work, commuters will be able to drive on the new asphalt. The roadway remains closed to traffic; we are actively working to schedule its reopening. Crews still need to landscape and place final surface/pavement markings/signage.

We completed the pedestrian path pavement along the east side of the road. Next week, concrete crews will install the connection pieces between the path and adjacent sidewalk and curb. Caution tape and barricades will secure the fresh concrete – please avoid the concrete until we remove the caution tape/barricades; no one wants to replace new concrete because of footprints/bike tracks. Crews will open the pedestrian path as soon as they finish the topsoil installation. The roadway remains closed to traffic, but we are actively working to schedule its reopening. Crews still need to resurface from Timberleaf Circle South to Central Avenue.

We restored the ‘Quiet Crossing’ and Metra visited the site to confirm their train crews did not sound horns. There will still be train horns when a person/vehicle/animal is on the rails; trains will always sound horns if Metra crews are working on their property. We will still have Metra crews along the rails for a few weeks as they complete their work for the new crossing signals. The roadway remains closed to traffic. We still need to pave the new pedestrian path, install concrete sidewalk sections, complete landscaping and install the roadway lighting system. We installed the Timberleaf Circle North apron. We will route all Timberleaf Circle traffic onto a short section of the new roadway while we remove and replace the Timberleaf Circle South pavement.

We completed the work items required to reinstate the 'Quiet Crossing' for trains at the Rodenburg Road tracks and notified the CPKC and Metra. We are awaiting a confirmation discussion between Metra and the CPKC. The Village of Roselle has already delivered a letter to the Federal Railroad Administration detailing the safety items installed this morning. We are all hopeful Metra and CPKC will send orders out to train crews this afternoon to reinstate the ‘No Train Horn’ status of this grade crossing.

We completed the vast majority of the available curb and gutter installation throughout the reconstruction portion of the project. We also installed the new medians at the railroad crossing; the medians are an integral part of the system we will install to return this to a ‘Quiet Crossing.’
Next week, you will see crews removing the rest of the existing pavement at Irving Park Road. Following that, we will begin installing the new asphalt roadway. The road will remain closed to all traffic between the Airport Access Road and Timberleaf Circle for some time. We will complete the pedestrian path, landscaping, permanent signing, roadway lighting and pavement marking before we can safely move traffic to the new pavement.
The resurfacing work south of Timberleaf Circle to Central Avenue will be our last operation before installing the final new roadway surface.

Crews will be on site early Tuesday and Wednesday next week to avoid the predicted high temperatures. We will be installing the new concrete curbs Tuesday and complete any remaining work Wednesday. Expect to see crews on site at 5AM with concrete trucks following shortly after. The concrete mixers do not have tailgates to bang, so noise should be limited to their engines and mix drums along with the engine of the curb machine. We will let crews know to be as quiet as possible during the early hours. We check the temperatures of the delivered concrete mix. When it rises above 90 degrees, we must suspend operations. We are trying to get as much work possible done before the freshly mixed concrete rises above that 90-degree threshold.

Expect to see the contractor’s crews preparing the roadway for the new curb and medians. We are aiming to have concrete trucks on site early next week. We also completed the stone base for the new asphalt pedestrian path in all the available areas. We know it will look inviting for walks and bike rides, but it will not be connected to the rail crossing nor the existing path system for quite some time. Metra completed their work and the new crossing gates are operational. They have a few weeks of track work left to complete connections to the rail signals east and west of Rodenburg.

Metra will be working Saturday and Sunday this weekend between 6AM and 6PM. They will complete the work required to ‘commission’ the new railroad crossing gates for both the roadway and the pedestrian path. We expect most of their work will be confined to testing the equipment in their signal house and making sure connections are working east/west of the crossing to the nearby track signals. Expect to see contractor crews continue adding aggregate and grading the roadway in preparation for the concrete curbs and medians. To recap the storm sewer work, here are a few numbers:
SAFETY REMINDER: This is a CLOSED construction site. It is NOT SAFE for drivers/vehicles/pedestrians to go around the Road Closed signs onto the stone/dirt. Crews do not expect private vehicles/pedestrians. The broken concrete is dangerous for bike/car tires. Please avoid the site and use alternate routes.

- there are 52 new drainage structures in the ground, including the flared end sections on the edges of the slopes and the catch basins and inlets in the new roadway
- crews removed almost 700 feet of old storm sewer pipe
- crews installed 2,150 feet of new pipe (that is just over four-tenths of a mile)

MAY 30, 2024
We have completed the majority of the storm sewer installation throughout the project. There are some minor adjustments to work on when we resurface between Central Avenue and Travis Parkway. We will also see the storm sewer crew back on the site to install the drainage lids and covers as we start the concrete curb installation. The contractor will continue to shape the ground for the new roadway and install the stone base for the new pavement.

We should complete the new storm sewer system south of the railroad tracks this week. Crews on the north side of the tracks started raising the roadway to the new elevations. We will continue that excavation, embankment and compaction work until we have completed the roadway and pedestrian path base. Metra crews expect to complete their signal replacement work by the end of this month. Intren crews working for ComEd completed their work to clear the way for our roadway and storm sewer system.

We have moved to the south side of the tracks and hope to complete the new storm sewer system early next week. Expect to see excavation work start north of the tracks next week as we begin building the base for the new roadway. Metra crews expect to complete their signal replacement work by the end of this month. Intren crews working for ComEd should complete their work south of the tracks early next week. Please note that both the roadway and the pedestrian path are closed to traffic – that includes walkers and bicyclists. Crews work very diligently to make sure we are all safe as we work around construction equipment. The detour route applies to ALL traffic; an active construction site is simply not a safe area for bikes/pedestrians.

The Federal Railroad Administration informed us the existing ‘Quiet Crossing’ established at the Metra/CPKC railroad tracks and Rodenburg Road is not valid during the construction of the new roadway. All the rail traffic on these tracks is required to sound their horns as they cross the roadway.
The ‘Quiet Crossing’ will be reinstated when we complete the roadway and install all the safety gear required by the Illinois Commerce Commission and Federal Railroad Administration. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience; neither the Villages nor the designers were aware the ‘Quiet Crossing’ was in jeopardy during construction as the roadway itself is closed to public traffic.
