One road improvement project in Naperville makes the list for the DuPage County Division of Transportation’s 2027-2031 Transportation Improvement Plan.
A project to complete intersection improvements and roadway upgrades along Naperville Road between I-88 and Ridgeland Avenue on Naperville’s north side is one of eight “major capital projects” prioritized for the next five years, the county said in a news release.
The work is a continuation of one of the county’s major construction projects of 2026, as construction is already underway. The project is expected to continue causing intermittent lane closures until its anticipated completion in fall 2027, according to the county’s annual highway program.
Plan: $322 million in construction projects
The overall DuPage County Transportation Improvement Program for the next five years proposes more than $322 million of work, funded by both county and federal dollars, to maintain infrastructure, improve safety and relieve congestion, the county said in a news release.
About half of the funding will be devoted to roadway maintenance and safety improvements, while other resources will be allocated to new sidewalks, multiuse paths and trails across the county. About $20 million also will fund drainage improvements to decrease flooding concerns along roads maintained by DuPage.
“Our goal for the transportation program is to maintain or improve the safety and accessibility of our roads in a comprehensive and cost-effective manner,” said Mary FitzGerald Ozog, chairwoman of the county’s Transportation Committee. “These initiatives will reduce congestion, ensure our capital facilities are well-maintained and improve overall mobility for residents, workers and visitors in DuPage County.”
