[ARCHIVED] Peace Road Widening Work Begins

A sign along Peace Road reads

The widening of Peace Road north of the tollway began the week of May 1. 

This year’s work will widen Peace Road to four lanes from the tollway through the Fairview Drive intersection. This includes a safety upgrade to the intersection at Fairview Drive and the resurfacing of Peace Road to Route 38.

The work will be completed this construction season. No permanent road closures are planned for the project but there may be temporary lane closures. 

The project is part of a larger multi-year plan to widen Peace Road from the tollway to the railroad overpass.

If you have any questions, contact City Engineer Zac Gill at zachary.gill@cityofdekalb.com.
