Kautz Road Detour To Remain Through End Of October

The detour is part of a project between Geneva and St. Charles to reconstruct and widen Kautz Road. Work is taking place between Swenson Avenue in St. Charles and just north of State Street in Geneva.

Construction was originally scheduled to begin in early June but got postponed while contractors "spent the past several weeks resolving the utility conflicts and relocations." Initial work began in late June.

The detour, permitting southbound traffic only from Toni Street in St. Charles to Averill Road in Geneva, will remain in effect through Oct. 28. The official detour directs drivers traveling north on Kautz to go west on Averill Road, north on Kirk Road, east on Stern Avenue and south on Kautz Road.

In late October, construction operations will shift and limit traffic to northbound only until Thanksgiving.
