For June 3 to May 14
At the May 29, 2013 Willow Road coordination meeting, IDOT and Lorig Construction provided their proposed construction schedule for the next two weeks.
- A Bristol Street detour will go into effect for work at the bridge. Vehicles will be able to access Bristol from the south but will not have access to Willow Road. The public parking spaces in the area will be open in the evenings and weekends. The detour is scheduled through the end of July.
- The Wagner Road detour is expected to be removed by June 3. • City Lights will continue to install temporary traffic signals at the intersections and they anticipate activating the temporary signals on the west end of the project.
- Lorig Construction will continue removing the existing medians and installing temporary pavement along the corridor. They will also start the new water main and retaining wall work at the bridge. The lane closures for this work are already in place.
- As soon as the utilities are out of the way, Lorig will start the Phase I work west of Sunset Ridge Road. New lane closures and traffic patterns will go into effect in this area. Traffic will be shifted to the south side of the right of way so that the new roadway and sidewalk can be built on the north.
- Nicor will continue work on the south side of the roadway predominantly between Sunset Ridge and Wagner. There will be times when their work requires sidewalk sections to be removed and Nicor will provide temporary gravel in these locations when they are completed.
- Comcast and AT&T will continue to relocate their facilities to the new Com Ed poles. Once those relocations are complete, the old poles will be removed.
- AT&T plans to finish their temporary fiber relocations near the river by June 3. When this work is complete, installation of the water main and construction of the retaining wall will begin.

Please note that the actual start dates and activities may change due to weather, utility issues, permitting approvals, or other contractor conflicts.
