Guardian G3 Expansion at the Joliet Compressor Station
Guardian proposes two new gas-fired compressor units at its existing Joliet Compressor Station in Will County as part of the G3 Expansion Project. The wider project includes about 68 miles of new pipeline loop in Kendall, DeKalb, and McHenry Counties, with construction proposed for September 2027 and service targeted for November 2028, subject to approvals.
What property owners should examineBecause the Will County work is proposed at an existing station, nearby owners should confirm whether surveys, access, temporary workspace, road use, noise, or additional property rights are requested rather than assuming the pipeline loop crosses their land.
In progress through 2027
Bell Road at 143rd Street
The County’s schedule identifies the intersection improvement as active with completion expected in late 2027. This is a significant junction serving Homer Glen and surrounding development.
What property owners should examineLong-term intersection work may involve corner acquisitions, temporary easements, detention, new turn lanes, and staged access on two road frontages.
Phase I study active in 2026
Wilmington-Peotone Road study
Will County is studying 9.3 miles from Old Chicago Road to US 45/52. Concepts include passing lanes, wider shoulders, sight-distance work, intersection upgrades, and drainage improvements.
What property owners should examineEarly corridor studies can identify future right-of-way needs across agricultural, residential, and commercial property before individual acquisition offers are prepared.
