Welcome to the
Laraway Road Project
The Will County Division of Transportation (WCDOT) is undertaking major improvements along the Laraway Road corridor from US Route 52 to Harlem Avenue.
​
The exhibit below shows the status of the various segments of the entire Laraway Road corridor. It depicts the three major sections that are being studied consecutively from west to east, and the targeted timeframe for construction of the various subsections.

project description
Laraway Road (CH 74) is a County Highway located in parts of Joliet, Frankfort, New Lenox, and unincorporated Will County. The limits of this Segment of Laraway Road are from the intersection of US Route 52 to Harlem Avenue, which is approximately 12.6 miles long. Laraway Road is a two-lane road with turn lanes and traffic signals at select intersections. The area surrounding Laraway Road is primarily agricultural fields and open space with existing residential subdivisions, commercial properties, and institutional developments. The area is expected to continue to develop and with that it is anticipated that travel demands will only increase. The intent of the project is to address the capacity of the roadway to accommodate future traffic demands while ensuring a safe and efficient traffic flow.
