Here is the latest update from the McHenry County Division of Transportation regarding the Randall Road Corridor Improvement project. Work is approximately 90 percent complete; upcoming work includes grooving for pavement markings, installation of striping (once materials are received), and permanent traffic signal activations (once striping is in place).
Unfortunately, receipt of the pavement marking tape has been delayed. The adhesive for the tape is manufactured in Texas, which was hit by a devastating freeze this past spring. In addition to failing power grids, much of the area’s processing equipment was not winter-proof, causing frozen nozzles and burst lines. This situation, in conjunction with reduced supply capacities brought about by COVID-19, has caused a delay in the pavement marking tape material acquisition. An order of this size (75+ miles!) is challenging to fill in normal circumstances, but the above events have made things even more challenging.
