McHenry County Division of Transportation
Launches New Five-Year Transportation Program
WOODSTOCK, Ill. – The McHenry County Division of Transportation (MCDOT) is launching its next five-year transportation program for the public to review and provide comments on.
This transportation program will help shape the projects and initiatives that the Division of Transportation will focus on to best bring about the transportation network that the County deserves. The transportation program itself can be found here. .
Public Comments and questions can be submitted in two ways, either directly through the individual project pages or via email to mcdot@mchenrycountyil.gov through October 27th, 2026.
Key highlights of the program include projects focused on intersection safety, pedestrian improvements, transit system expansion and bridge maintenance.
“We’ve worked hard to put together an interactive transportation program viewer to streamline feedback.
‘It’ll also educate our residents on how this five-year transportation program will impact them on a daily basis” said Drew Duffin, Transportation Planning Manager.
“Once the 2027 to 2031 transportation program is selected any project can be openly commented upon, allowing constituents to help shape our priorities.”
This new five-year transportation program represents a significant investment in the County’s transportation future.
Leveraging a wide array of federal, state and local funding sources, the MCDOT will continue to lay the foundation needed to help keep McHenry County’s roadways safe and improve our infrastructure for tomorrow’s needs.
Key focuses of the 2027-2031 transportation program include:
● Pavement assessment and upkeep on over 500 lane miles.
● Preventative maintenance on the County’s 40+ bridges.
● Improvements to pedestrian infrastructure along county routes.
● Critical infrastructure changes for mass transit.
● Multiple intersection safety improvements.
The MCDOT encourages the public to review the five-year transportation program, check out what projects may impact their daily commute, and submit feedback on them via email.
Public comments will be reviewed up until the day before the five-year transportation program is presented to the Transportation Committee on October 28th.
