Nicor's gas main work on north Route 47 in Huntley has been another clue that the thoroughfare's expansion is getting close and Monday Mayor Chuck Sass announced April 1 will mark the official start of the long-awaited widening project.
In a posting on the Village website Sass was frank. "We ask for your patience during this project," he said, observing the job will take two construction seasons in which "it will be difficult to travel Route 47." He said it would be worth the trouble, though, since "traffic flow through the village will be improved."
Huntley's scheduled an informational meeting on the widening for 6:30 pm next Wednesday, March 24, at Village Hall. In the meantime, there's a series of detailed maps posted here:

The village has also set up a Route 47 Hotline for questions at 847-515-5266
Besides the gas main work underway ComEd still has to relocate buried power lines on the north section of Route 47. Village Manager Dave Johnson said Monday he expected that to begin soon.
