Cook County – Illinois 68 at Bateman Road
The Illinois Department of Transportation is conducting preliminary engineering and environmental studies (Phase I) for the improvement of Illinois 68 at Bateman Road in the village of Barrington Hills, Cook County. The Phase I studies will evaluate alternatives to improve operation and safety at the intersection and examine impacts the final proposed improvement could have on the community and the environment. This improvement is not included in IDOT's current Proposed Highway Improvement Program. However, this project will be included in the department’s priorities for future funding consideration among similar improvement needs throughout the region.
This website has been created to provide the public with educational information, materials, and updates in relation to the Illinois 68 at Bateman Road study. The goal is to keep the public informed about the project development process and provide opportunities for the public to express their needs and concerns.
Based on recorded crash data IDOT has initiated a Phase I study of the intersection of Illinois 68 at Bateman Road. This study will evaluate various intersection alternatives. As the study progresses there will be public involvement opportunities for stakeholders to provide input on the alternatives. The intent of the Phase I study is to develop a preferred alternative that can reduce crashes at this location and minimize impacts to the existing infrastructure and environment. The study limits include the Illinois 68 at Bateman intersection and each leg of the intersection excluding driveways, except where necessary.
The Phase I study is on-going. Visit the Public Involvement section below for the latest information.
This project has not initiated Phase II (design) activities.
This project has not initiated Phase III (construction) activities.
