 Cook County/Lake Cook Road Construction project from Wilmot to Pfingsten in Deerfield
In early spring 2011, the Cook County Highway Department begins construction on Lake Cook Road from Wilmot Road to Pfingsten Road in the Village of Deerfield. This is an approximately 1.2 mile project that provides patching with diamond grinding of the existing pavement from east of Wilmot Road to Pine Street and provides reconstruction of the existing 4 lane pavement to 6 lanes from Pine Street to the east edge of Pfingsten Road.
