LOGISTICS

Huntley's central location and extensive transportation network make it a destination of choice for companies that need to move employees and goods around the Chicago area, country and the globe.



Roadway Network
Huntley boasts one of the most modern, high capacity roadway networks in the Chicago area. During the past two years, the community’s major north-south roadway, Illinois Rt. 47 has been completely reconstructed and expanded to 6 lanes from its original two lanes at a cost of $24 million. Additionally, the State of Illinois, Illinois Tollway Authority, Village of Huntley, and Counties of McHenry and Kane have approved funding totaling $61 million for the 2012 construction of a completely reconstructed and expanded 7 lane, full-access interchange at the intersection of Interstate-90 and Illinois Rt. 47. Finally, improvements to the Algonquin Road and Kreutzer Road arterials in excess of $10 million have significantly enhanced traffic flow to other commercial areas. With roadway improvements of $100 million, Huntley stands ready to attract significant new additions to its commercial and industrial base.


While Huntley claims an excellent roadway network, Illinois lies at the heart of the nation's interstate highway system. Three coast-to-coast interstates (I-70, I-80, and I-90) pass through Illinois. These are joined by major north-south interstates, including I-39, I-55, and I-57; major east-west interstates that include I-24, I-64, and I-74; as well as I-72, I-94, I-88 and I-155. In all, 2,169 miles of interstate highway serve Illinois. Only two states have more interstate miles.
