“All day Thursday (9/22) and Friday (9/23) IDOT’s Contractor will be completing milling and paving work on Main Street adjacent to the Metra railroad tracks under the supervision of Union Pacific railroad flaggers. There will be delays associated with lane closures in this area during this work.
The Contractor’s flaggers will maintain two-way traffic. Manhole grade adjustments will also be underway on Main Street throughout the Village during the rest of the week and into the beginning of next week. Be alert when driving or walking in the construction zone, as this work will raise the structures approximately 2″ above the pavement so they are at the final roadway surface elevation. The placement of the final asphalt surface is anticipated to begin at Ela Road and move westbound beginning early next week.
There will continue to be delays associated with lane closures during paving operations. Should the weather continue to cooperate, the placement of a second layer of asphalt throughout the Village will likely be complete during the first week of October, leaving only roadway striping work remaining.
We understand the frustration with this construction and the associated traffic delays and congestion. While this is not a Village project, we will continue to share updates from IDOT and are looking forward to the completion of this significant improvement in our community!”
