Old McHenry Road open to local traffic
during reconstruction
Due to changes initiated by the contractor, the Lake County Division of Transportation (LCDOT) will be keeping the current detour route in place for the roadwork taking place on Old McHenry Road. Old McHenry Road remains open to local traffic with the one block section of Old McHenry Road located between Robert Parker Coffin Road and Archer Road remaining limited to one-way southbound traffic only. Easy access to municipal parking lots (Archer and Stemple Parking Lots) remains, and downtown Long Grove shops and restaurants are open for business during this project.  For more information, including detour information, visit the project website at Old McHenry Road Info.
