For May 6 to May 17
At the May 1, 2013 Willow Road coordination meeting IDOT and Lorig Construction provided their proposed construction schedule for the next two weeks. The work planned includes:
Weeks of May 6th & 13th
- The utility companies such as Com Ed, Comcast, AT&T, and NICOR will continue their work relocating utilities that are in conflict with the new roadway. NICOR will be focusing most of their work in the western portion of the project between Waukegan Road. To allow them to work safely they will be making some temporary changes to the traffic configurations in their work zones. Once completed the barricades will be reinstalled to the pre-stage work locations.
- The general contractor, Lorig Construction will continue to set new poles for the temporary traffic signals at the intersections. This work has already started at Waukegan and Willow and the contractor will continue moving east, intersection by intersection. If the soil samples are approvals by the reception site, the contractor will begin the median removals as early as next week. They plan to start west of Waukegan Road and work their way east. The lane closures have already been put in place to accommodate this work.
More detailed construction work and traffic conditions can be tracked at http://northfieldwillowroad.blogspot.com/ ; through Facebook at Willow Road Construction Project; or through Twitter at @willowroadcp. Please note that the actual start dates and activities may change due to weather, utility, permitting approvals, or other contractor conflicts.
