Will County Public Works & Transportation Committee Meeting | November 2025

Article Summary: The Will County Board approved new speed limits for a section of Stuenkel Road in Green Garden Township and for multiple residential roads within the Lincoln Estates subdivision in Frankfort Township following traffic engineering studies.

Altered Speed Zones Key Points:

  • The speed limit on a 1.14-mile stretch of Stuenkel Road in Green Garden Township will be set at 45 MPH.

  • Six residential roads in Frankfort Township’s Lincoln Estates subdivision will have new 25 MPH speed limits established.

Motorists in parts of Green Garden and Frankfort townships will soon see new speed limit signs after the Will County Board on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, approved ordinances altering speed zones on several local roads.

The board authorized the establishment of Altered Speed Zone 705, setting a 45 MPH speed limit on a 1.14-mile section of Stuenkel Road in Green Garden Township. The new speed limit will apply from the north leg of Scheer Road to US Route 45. The change was recommended following a traffic and engineering investigation by the Will County Division of Transportation.

Additionally, the board approved the establishment of six new speed zones in the Lincoln Estates subdivision in Frankfort Township, setting the speed limit at 25 MPH on all affected roads. The new 25 MPH zones include:

  • Zone 706: Woodvale Road from its western dead end to 78th Avenue (0.70 miles).

  • Zone 707: River Road from US Route 30 to its southern dead end (0.53 miles).

  • Zone 708: Hillside Road from US Route 30 to its southern dead end (0.54 miles).

  • Zone 709: 80th Avenue from US Route 30 to its southern dead end (0.52 miles).

  • Zone 710: 79th Avenue from US Route 30 to its southern dead end (0.50 miles).

  • Zone 711: 78th Avenue from Woodvale Road to its southern dead end (0.24 miles).

The changes in both townships were determined to be reasonable and proper after studies found the existing statutory speed limits were not appropriate for the roadways.
