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.

🚔☕ What an honor and privilege it was to help raise $1,570.00 for Cop on a Rooftop at the FRG Crystal Lake Dunkin'/Baskin Robbins alongside the amazing Fox River Grove Police Department Chief of Police, dedicated staff, and the McHenry County Sheriff's Office along side with their Social Worker! 💙The Algonquin Township Road District Autism Awareness & Acceptance Truck was proudly on display, and it was wonderful seeing kiddos climb inside, explore the truck, and share smiles with all of us. 🚛💛♾️As Highway Commissioner, I believe it is important that the Road District remains actively involved in our community and supports the incredible organizations and first responders who serve our residents every single day. Our law enforcement agencies work hand-in-hand with us during roadway emergencies, storms, traffic incidents, and public safety situations — and we truly appreciate their dedication, professionalism, and partnership. 👮🚨🦺A huge thank you to the Fox River Grove Dunkin for hosting the event and helping bring the community together for such an important cause! 🍩☕Thank you to everyone who stopped by, donated, and supported Special Olympics Illinois! ❤️ -Danijela #CopOnARooftop #FoxRiverGrove #Dunkin #SpecialOlympicsIllinois #CommunityStrong #AlgonquinTownshipRoadDistrict #AutismAcceptance #SupportingOurCommunity #PublicSafetyPartner ...
