Traffic Delays Expected as Fabyan Parkway Construction Project Starts Monday

BATAVIA, IL - On Monday, April 24, the city of Batavia will be closing one lane of eastbound Fabyan Parkway from Western Avenue to east of Van Nortwick Avenue from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily.

The daily single lane closure of eastbound Fabyan Parkway will last for about three weeks, weather permitting, to allow construction crews to safely replace existing utility poles and upgrade the city’s electric transmission capacity citywide, according to the news release.

The above-mentioned roads will remain open during construction, but will be reduced to one lane for this
work. Motorists should be prepared to reduce their speed, exercise caution, and to be extra alert, according to Kane County Division of Transportation officials.

Motorists must watch for construction workers, construction vehicles entering or leaving the site, and obey flaggers and other traffic control devices within the work zone. Motorists should expect delays while traveling
through the work areas. Motorists may want to add additional time to their commutes and consider the use
of alternate routes while this work is completed, according to the news release.

Kane County transportation officials are also reminding drivers it is illegal talk on a cell phone or text while driving through a highway construction work zone.
