East State Street Reconstruction Project

under construction

The Illinois Department of Transportation is reconstructing East State Street-Illinois Route 38 from Glengarry Drive to the Fox River. The multiyear project includes roadway widening, streetscape enhancements, bike lanes, traffic signal upgrades, new street lighting, and improvements to water main and storm drainage infrastructure. The pre-stage phase involves installing a new sanitary sewer down the center of East State Street starting at Route 25 and proceeding eastbound. Utility relocations by various companies are also part of the project. The full project is expected to be completed in late 2027, with punch list items finished the following year.
