🚧 Kane County Annual Pavement Marking Program 🚧

The Kane County Division of Transportation (KDOT) is scheduled to conduct its annual pavement marking work beginning this week, weather permitting. The work will include the installation of both painted and urethane pavement markings on County highways.

🚧 Paint Pavement Markings
Fresh paint pavement markings will be applied to approximately 236 miles of County highways, primarily on rural routes, to improve lane visibility for motorists.

🚧 Urethane Pavement Markings
Urethane pavement markings will be installed on approximately 17 miles of County highways. Urethane provides a more durable alternative to water-based paint and is used primarily on higher-traffic routes to improve the longevity of pavement markings.

Temporary daily lane closures will be in place Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Temporary flagger control at intersections will be used as needed throughout the routes.

Motorists are asked to slow down, watch for workers and equipment on the roadway and shoulders, allow extra travel time, and exercise caution when traveling through freshly marked areas.

Work is anticipated to be completed by the end of October 2026, weather permitting.

📍 Please see the maps included with this post for pavement marking locations.
