Traffic Alert
Temporary Full Route 14 Closure Starting Monday, Sept. 15 ⚠️
Please be advised that Route 14 will be fully closed from north of Valencia Road to Hough Street beginning Monday, Sept. 15. The work is part of the Route 14 underpass project. The temporary closure, expected to last approximately four weeks, will allow Canadian National Railway to complete the temporary railroad tracks and shift train traffic. Once the railroad work is completed and the gap in the temporary roadway is constructed, Route 14 will reopen to full four-lane traffic.
During this time, a signed detour will be in place via Lake Cook Road and Hough Street. Please allow for extra travel time and plan accordingly.
Note that all local businesses, including the Barrington Area Library, will remain open and accessible during the closure. Shorely Drive local access will also be maintained for residents. See the traffic map above for more details.
Thank you for your patience and continued support of our local businesses during the closure!
