What’s New for Willow Road?

For June 17 to June 28

At the June 12, 2013 Willow Road coordination meeting, IDOT and Lorig Construction provided their proposed construction schedule for the next two weeks. 

  •  The Bristol Street detour will remain in effect for work at the bridge.  Vehicles can access Bristol from the south but do not have access to Willow Road.  The public parking spaces in the area will remain available.         
  • The Phase I work has been started west of Sunset Ridge Road and is expected to continue throughout the summer.  The lane closures and traffic patterns for this work are in effect including those for Waukegan Road.
  •  The Pre-stage work west of Sunset Ridge Road will continue and it includes the installation of temporary pavement along the corridor, a new water main, and the retaining wall and drainage structures near the bridge.  The lane closures for this work are already in place.
  •  The temporary traffic signal installations will continue on the east end of the project in the downtown area.  Additional, short term, lane closures may be needed for portions of this work.
  • Utility work also continues throughout the corridor with Nicor working on the south side of the roadway between Sunset Ridge and Wagner; AT&T is relocating their facilities to the new poles and finishing their temporary fiber relocations; and ComEd will be removing the older poles once they are cleared of all wires.    Additional, short term, lane closures may be needed for portions of this work.

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