HUNTLEY – Village officials will set their sights on a smaller road project in 2013 after accomplishing major feats this year on Huntley’s infrastructure.

Residents shouldn’t expect a ribbon-cutting or groundbreaking as they experienced this year when the wider Route 47 officially opened and construction crews started building a full Interstate 90-Route 47 interchange.

Instead, officials will focus on developing the local road system, starting with the $5 million extension to Kreutzer Road west of Route 47. The expansion should provide better access to the downtown for residents living in Huntley’s growing west side, said Lisa Armour, senior village assistant manager.
