From McHenry County:
Woodstock, IDOT break ground on Route 47 improvement project
The City of Woodstock, the Illinois Department of Transportation, the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce and Industry, McHenry County Government, and US Rep. Bill Foster came together last Tuesday to officially break ground on the Route 47 widening project.
Over the next two years, Route 47 between US 14 and Route 120 will be widened, and safety improved through the addition of three roundabouts, signal improvements, the addition of pedestrian and ADA improvements, and more.
Route 47 is a critical north-south artery connecting McHenry County to I-90, I-88, and Wisconsin, and this two-year project will build on the route’s widening in Huntley, and ongoing work to improve its intersections with Route 176 between Huntley and Woodstock.

But, the road the between Crystal Lake and Woodstock remains two lanes, as does the stretch between Huntley and Route 176.
