The extension of Illinois Route 53 into Lake County, Illinois, has been on paper for decades, with the first centerline survey prepared in 1971. The project now skirts a golf course and required the relocation and widening of Route 22, an intersecting roadway.

Snapshot
• 483-acre site
• 52 acres of right-of-way (R.O.W.) acquisition
• 3 miles of roadway (centerline)
• Legal descriptions and sections of the public land system were extensively researched to enable an accurate boundary site survey.
• Centerline surveying and R.O.W. monumentation took place on heavily traveled Route 22, requiring additional safety considerations for the surveying crew.
• Dedication plats were prepared by compiling several proposed centerline surveys. Final centerline geometry was calculated using multiple preliminary engineering plans going back as far as 1971.
