Site work and paving for a road / highway in Rutland Township, Illinois. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway; and for paving for a road / highway.

The primary objective of this improvement is to identify and analyze operational, capacity and safety concerns of the intersections and develop a preferred alternative to address any feasible needs. The Phase I study is on-going and will include a crash analysis of each intersection, analysis of existing and projected traffic demands, environmental studies (including a wetland delineation and a noise analysis study), and the development of a preferred concept for future implementation. The cross section for this stretch of Galligan Road will be widened from the existing 1-lane in each direction, to 1-lane in each direction with an additional bi-directional turn lane. No additional through lanes are proposed along Galligan Road. Roundabout intersections are proposed at the intersections of Galligan Road and Binnie Road and Galligan Road at Freeman Road, which will help improve the level-of-service of the intersections and improve capacity and safety at the existing intersections. The need for this improvement is driven by increasing traffic queues which have reached unacceptable levels of service during peak periods. Bicycle and Pedestrian accommodations are also being investigated as part of the overall improvement. This improvement will require land acquisition; however, no residential or commercial displacements are anticipated. The project is included in the County's 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of December 3, 2025, an engineer has been identified and will complete Phase 1 and 2 in 2025-2027. Project is currently in Phase 1. Construction expected in 2027-2028. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
