CONSTRUCTION ALERT: The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) resumed work on the Illinois Route 53 improvements from Interstate 90 to Lake Cook Road this week. Starting this Friday, March 6, four of the ramps at Palatine Road will be closed until approximately August 1. The ramps to be closed are:
• Eastbound Palatine Road to northbound Illinois 53
• Westbound Palatine Road to southbound Illinois 53

• Northbound Illinois 53 to westbound Palatine Road

Starting this Monday, March 9, Palatine Road under Illinois 53 will be reduced to one lane in each direction until approximately August 1. The lane closures will vary between the inside and outside lanes, depending on the work areas.

Lane shifts and closures on Illinois 53 between Rand Road and Kirchoff Road are also expected. Illinois 53 will be reduced to two lanes in each direction throughout the duration of the project, along with ramp closures and overnight lane closures.

IDOT anticipates the majority of the work to be completed by the end of this year, with landscaping and miscellaneous work to be completed in 2027.

Friday morning, a young couple was dropping off their car for service, I was out in the parking lot over to the side talking to them and we all noticed their daughter Cora was busy gifting us with a cute little snow angel. What a way to brighten a snowy winter day!:)
