The City of DeKalb project to convert the Lucinda Avenue and Normal Road intersection from traffic lights to a single-lane roundabout is set to begin in mid-May.
The work includes relocating and improving pedestrian crossings and adding flashing/audible signaling at key crossings. Work will begin Tuesday, May 13, weather permitting, with barricade installation and utility preparation. The project is planned to be complete in August prior to students arriving and the beginning of classes.
The first phase of the City of DeKalb Lucinda Avenue road improvements project includes reconfiguration of the intersection at Normal Road from traditional traffic signals to a roundabout.
This work will include relocating and improving pedestrian crossings and addition of flashing/audible signaling at key crossings. Timing on construction is to be determined but anticipated to begin later this year potentially as early as August.
A subsequent phase of improvement for the remainder of Lucinda Avenue from the bridge to the east and Annie Glidden Road to the west is in planning and schedule for that is pending.
