Route 64 roadwork starts Monday in Sycamore

Motorists should expect delays starting week of July 14

An SUV heads eastbound on Illinois Route 64 toward Airport Road in Sycamore on Sunday, July 13, 2025.

Roadwork on Route 64 in Sycamore is expected to start Monday and last through September, according to the city.

Pavement improvements on Route 64 will run from Airport Road east to County Line Road. The work is being completed through a contract with the Illinois Department of Transportation and DeKalb-based Curran Contracting, according to a social media post from the city of Sycamore.

Motorists should expect periodic and temporary lane closures, likely causing delays, starting the week of July 14.

No full closures are expected, and the road will remain open to through traffic, according to the city.

For information, call IDOT at 815-284-2271.

A separate road project for Route 64 also is in its design stages, according to the city. The work would rehabilitate a portion of Route 64 from Route 23 (Main Street) to Airport Road. Construction has not yet started on that project.
