Building a Better Community

Algonquin Township Highway Department’s main function is to maintain Township roads that are not located within any village boundaries. We are responsible for resurfacing, patching, and snow plowing more than 55 miles of township roads.

Where necessary, we provide lighting at major intersections. Our crews are also kept busy repairing and replacing the more than 800 road signs throughout the township.

 

The Algonquin Township Highway Department stands ready to help non-dedicated subdivisions in all legal ways. Advice, some engineering support, technical assistance, and encouragement are available through the Township or the County on request by subdivisions that wish to upgrade their roads.

Thanks to Amvet Post 245, over 1,000 flags were respectfully retired.

Our electronics recycling program kept 72,987 lbs of electronics out of the landfills.
