Construction Update: Frankfort Roadwork to Begin in July

Construction season is upon us, which means the possible return of the three Ds: delays, detours and disturbances.

Like last year, 's major construction project will be the continuing work on widening U.S. Route 30. Unlike last year, however, the village won't have as many other roadways needing work, said Assistant Village Administrator Rob Piscia.

READ:

No one enjoys maneuvering through construction zones, but it's a necessary evil (especially the long overdue Rt. 30 widening). To help ease some of that frustration, Patch will post updates from the village this summer about what roadways and routes to avoid. You also can check the Village of Frankfort's website for more information. And don't forget to look at Patch's live traffic map when it comes to finding headache-free routes during your commute.

Rt. 30 Construction: Wolf Road to LaGrange Road

Temporary lanes: Pavement markings and concrete are being put down for these lanes on the north side of Rt. 30, near Elsner Road to Butternut Trail. The change-over to the new lanes should happen some time this week.

Settlers Pond Drive: This intersection will be closed while work is being done.

Other work: Soil piles are being removed throughout this stretch to allow eventual utility work on the south side of Rt. 30.

Rt. 30 Construction: LaGrange Road to Harlem Avenue

Frankfort Square Road: This intersection remains closed as work continues.

Harlem to 84th avenues: Permanent pavement work continues.

78th and 82nd avenues: These intersections will be closed for work.

Other Construction

1 N. White St parking lot: Construction continues on a walk from the new parking lot to Old Plank Road Trail.
