Lake in the Hills is trying to help some of the businesses that will be hit by the Randall Road construction.

Randall Road widening work between McHenry Avenue in Crystal Lake and Acorn Lane/Polaris Drive in Lake in the Hills has been underway for the past several weeks.

Some Lake in the Hills businesses could be affected by the closure of Miller Road because, as part of construction, there’s going to be a six-month closure of the western leg of Miller and a three-month, exit-only restriction on the eastern leg, according to Lake in the Hills documents.

Miller Road’s west leg detour is expected to run from June to November, according to the project’s website. Both the western and eastern legs for Miller Road will be right-in, right-out on Randall through August 2026, according to the project website.

While Randall Road is a county road and McHenry County is handling the construction, the Lake in the Hills village board Tuesday evening agreed to waive liquor license and video gaming fees for two entities east of the intersection: Dino’s Pizza and Property Owner’s Association, a neighborhood bar, banquet hall and membership group.

The move would give the entities “the ability to maintain funds for operating capital in the short term and provide relief” for upcoming economic challenges, Village Administrator Shannon Andrews told the board before the vote.
