Longmeadow Parkway
[2][3][4][5][6] The road passes through portions of the villages of Algonquin, Carpentersville and Barrington Hills, as well as unincorporated areas of Kane County.Based upon this request, the Kane County Board agreed to establish a Longmeadow Parkway Toll Bridge Task Force.[12][13] In response to traffic projections on the eastern terminus of the parkway, the Illinois Department of Transportation is conducting a study that is considering upgrading IL-62 to a divided four-lane road eastward to IL-59.[14] The project experienced many delays including discussion of an endangered bee habitat nearby, COVID-19 pandemic supply shortages, and the discovery and removal of lead in the soil from an old shooting range in the Parkway's right-of-way.[2][3][4][5] To fill a gap in funding, in November 2018, Kane County issued $27.8 million in bonds supported by tolls from the bridge.[15] In September 2018, Kane County and the Illinois Tollway entered into an agreement to install all-electronic I-Pass tolling for the bridge.
