Heads up, Barrington!

Traffic Alert: Hough Street (Route 59) Lane Reductions Begin Next Week ⚠️

Beginning next week, Hough Street (Route 59) will be reduced to one lane in each direction south of Northwest Highway as work begins on the next phase of the Route 14 underpass project. This stage includes construction of the culvert that will carry the relocated Flint Creek.

Traffic changes include:

• Northbound left turn lane from Hough Street onto Route 14 will be temporarily shortened due to adjacent construction. Consider alternative routes to proceed westbound on Route 14 to avoid traffic delays.
• Lions Drive at Hough Street will be temporarily closed. Barrington Park District visitors can still access Lions Drive from Route 14.

This is the first stage of Hough Street construction, and the temporary traffic pattern is expected to remain in place for at least one month. During this time, the contractor will also evaluate opportunities to complete additional work as part of this stage, which could increase the duration of these lane reductions.

The Village will share another update as soon as an exact start date and additional staging details are confirmed.

Love 💕 this!!

Steve and Jeannie here with a very important reminder: never, ever run out into the rain without a BALibrary umbrella! Borrow one at the Customer Service desk and return on your next visit, or, win one for completing the adult Summer Reading challenge! Completion means reading just 500 minutes - you could cover that over a few rainy evenings and then always have a spare brolly on hand. Scary weather today, let’s hope it stays clear for the big Parade tomorrow!

Did you hear? Popular national anthem singer Jim Cornelison will be singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the Barrington Lions Club Brat Tent this Saturday, July 4. Stop by the Brat Tent after the parade to catch the special performance at noon celebrating our nation’s 250th birthday! 🇺🇸
