County Line Road Over I-55 Bridge:

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and the Federal Highway administration (FHWA) finished an $8 million replacement of the County Line Road bridge over I-55 in early 2015. The project included aesthetic enhancements to the bridge that continue the Village’s branding theme established along County Line Road and the Burr Ridge Village Center. Incorporating these design elements was a rare opportunity that better identifies downtown Burr Ridge from I-55 and creates a more attractive entryway for all Village residents and businesses The Village’s enhancements were funded by a $1.4 million grant through the State of Illinois Transportation Enhancement program. The 20% contribution of local funding required as a condition of the grant was paid for by the Hotel/Motel Tax Fund, which can only be used for tourism-related programs and beautification within the Village. No resident tax dollars were used for the project.

History: The area which is now Burr Ridge was once the home of the Sioux, Pottawattamie, Ottawa and Chippewa Indians. After an 1835 treaty, most of the Indians were relocated west of the Mississippi. In the early 1950’s, the area was sparsely settled, and large tracts of land were devoted to farming. On October 30, 1956, a one-square-mile area bounded by Old Route 66, County Line Road, 79th Street and the east line of the Denemark

The Tri-State Fire Protection District serves that portion of Burr Ridge west of County Line Road and south of Plainfield Road. The Pleasantview Fire Protection District serves the rest of the Village. Both fire districts, which are taxing bodies separate from the Village and serving more than Burr Ridge, provide both fire protection and paramedic ambulance services.

Farm was incorporated as the Village of Harvester.

In August, 1961, the territory north of Route 66, including the 414 acre International Harvester research facility (now the J. I. Case facility and the Walsh, Higgins development) was annexed to the Village; and in August of the following year, the name of the community was changed to Burr Ridge to denote the stand of burr oak trees on a ridge along County line Road near Plainfield Road. The burr oak leaf became the Village emblem.

Shortly after the change in the Village’s name, the former Babcock dairy farm was annexed to the Village for development as Carriage Way. Milk from this farm had been processed and distributed to the Chicago Guernsey Dairy Center, now the site of Sedgley Estates. Over the years, development changed the look of the area. Today, Burr Ridge encompasses approximately seven square miles located approximately 19 miles southwest of the Loop. It is generally bounded on the east by Wolf Road, on the north by 55th Street, on the west by Madison Street (and Route 83 in the southern portion of the Village) and on the south by approximately 97th Street.
