Our Five Year Plan

Ever wonder how we decide which roads to improve and when? This is our roadmap! The 2026-2030 Transportation Program is our five-year game plan for building, maintaining, and improving the roads you travel on every day.

Think of it as our blueprint for the future. It helps us budget wisely and lays out the major projects we're planning, from initial design sketches to the final coat of pavement.

Most importantly, this plan is our key to making your tax dollars go further. By planning ahead, we can partner with the state (IDOT) and federal government to bring more funding back to McHenry County for our transportation needs. It ensures our work aligns with the County's overall strategic goals for a thriving community.

We invite you to explore the plan and see what's in store for McHenry County!
