Welcome!
The Illinois Department of Transportation welcomes you to the official website for the Illinois Route 71 Study in Kendall County. The Department has initiated a preliminary engineering study of Illinois Route 71 from just west of the IL Route 47 intersection in Yorkville to about 1/3 of a mile south of Orchard/Minkler Road in Oswego. The purpose of the project study is to determine needed improvements for the roadway. This website contains a description of the project, general information regarding upcoming public information, and news updates as the project progresses. We encourage your feedback and participation in this study. If you would like to join the mailing list or to leave a comment, please contact the Department by emailing
Duane Lukkari, PE.
The Illinois Department of Transportation began the Phase I portion of Illinois Route 71 project in December 2009. The Study Team has collected initial survey, traffic, crash, pedestrian and bicycle data. Over the next several months the Study Team will actively engage the stakeholders in the project through numerous working group meetings in an effort to identify the needs for the project.
What's New?
