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.
