OLDER INFORMATION
07-29-2019: Mainline storm sewer installation along the west side of Hunt Club Road is complete. Lateral road crossings begin this week - even though this work will be performed during off-peak traffic hours, delays are expected. The pavement will first be saw-cut across Hunt Club Road in a few locations; then, the excavator will remove the pavement to connect the east side curb structures to the mainline storm sewer; lastly, crews will backfill the holes daily with asphalt.
Excavation to widen Hunt Club Road north of Grand Avenue is underway and the additional turn lane adjacent to Chick-fil-A can be seen. After the excavation to the north is complete, excavation will switch to the west side of south Hunt Club Road. Please continue to drive safely. Click here to check out the latest project photos.

07-22-2019: The majority of the concrete items (curbs, medians, etc.) on Grand Avenue are complete. In a few weeks, crews will begin removing the Grand Avenue roadway pavement; crews will complete the intermediate layer of asphalt now instead of later in the year when availability and weather limit asphalt placement. Storm sewer along the west side of Hunt Club Road north of Grand Avenue is the present focus and excavation to widen Hunt Club Road is next.
Sidewalk construction is underway and ‘Sidewalk Closed’ signs are posted to direct pedestrians to proper crossing locations. Pedestrian access will be maintained either by concrete sidewalk or temporary aggregate path. The project is currently on schedule to be complete by early November. Please continue to drive safely and slow down in the work zone.

07-15-19: The intersection island gaps on all four corners of Hunt Club Road and Grand Avenue have been filled with concrete. Installation of the storm sewer along the west side of Grand Avenue began July 5th and is progressing rapidly. Now that curb placement and base widening to reconfigure the Grand Avenue median west of the intersection is complete, the focus will be on the median east of Hunt Club Road. Please continue to drive safely and watch for daily lane closures. Click here to check out the latest photos!
06-27-19: Temporary traffic signals have been installed and signal poles have been removed. Concrete removal and preparation work continues; the Grand Avenue median west of Hunt Club Road is ready for concrete. Next week, crews will begin filling the old intersection islands with concrete. No work interfering with traffic is permitted between Wednesday, July 3 and Monday, July 8. Have a happy and safe holiday! Click here to check out project photos!
06-21-19: Aggregate and concrete placement on Grand Avenue (west of Hunt Club) will begin soon as will storm sewer installation in the southwest corner of the intersection. There will be a noticeable increase in trucking as aggregate, concrete and removal operations begin. Once the temporary lighting and traffic signals are active, the large metal posts and mast arms will be removed and the new footprint of the intersection will be clear. Please remember to drive slowly through the work zone; once all the work is complete, Lake County’s transportation system will be more efficient and safer for the public.
06-13-2019: Advance traffic control and erosion control measures are in place. Temporary light poles and traffic signals are in place and will be turned on next week – there will be delays once the signals are activated as it takes some adjustment time to achieve proper signal timing. Currently, the daily lane closures will continue along the median and outside lanes on Grand Avenue; these lane closures will soon be seen on Hunt Club Road.
06-06-2019: Construction begins Monday, June 10th; expect delays. The focus will be topsoil removal and storm sewer installation in the southwest quadrant of the intersection while temporary lighting and traffic signals are installed. Off-roadway activities behind the curb will begin daily at 6:00 AM. When daily lane closures are required, work will be scheduled during off-peak hours to not interfere with rush hour traffic. Please be aware of trucks entering/exiting the work zone; do not follow trucks too closely; watch for flaggers directing traffic. The Pace Bus Route 565 stop at Hunt Club/Westbrook will be temporarily out of service beginning Friday, June 14th. During construction, Pace will temporarily relocate the stop to the northwest corner of Gurnee Mills Circle/Westbrook. Click here to view the temporary stop location flyer.
05-08-2019: Safety improvements to the Hunt Club Road and Grand Avenue (IL 132) intersection will begin this summer. Landmark Contractors, Inc. was the lowest bidder and they are anticipated to begin construction in mid-June. Currently, ComEd is relocating two switch gear cabinets along the west side of Hunt Club; this work is necessary to facilitate adding a right turn lane for southbound Hunt Club to westbound Grand.
