The $46 million reconstruction of Randall Road in Algonquin and Lake in the Hills is 90% complete, according to Algonquin and McHenry County officials, but carrying the project across the finish line depends on the delivery of delayed supplies.
The McHenry County Division of Transportation released a construction update on the massive road-widening project that began in 2019 and spans about two miles from Polaris Drive in Lake in the Hills to Harnish Road in Algonquin. The work is 58% financed by federal funds, with the remaining amount funded by the county.

Electricians have installed permanent traffic signal poles and signal heads throughout the 2018 Randall Road construction project.
The signal poles will be fully installed by mid-June and activated shortly after, McHenry County Division of Transportation Construction Manager Jeremy Stull said. Most of the poles are up now but wiring and other ancillary items are being completed.
The temporary signals will be deactivated as soon as the new signals are activated and the equipment will be removed soon after, he said.
