For August 12 to 24
At the August 7, 2013 Willow Road coordination meeting, IDOT and Lorig Construction provided their proposed construction schedule for the upcoming weeks.
- The retaining wall work at the bridge is expected to be completed early in the week and then the contractor will install temporary lanes on the south side of the right of way. As soon as this work is completed Bristol Street will be reopened. The contractor will then switch the traffic to Phase I operations, on the south side of the right of way, all the way to the Eden’s Expressway.
- West of Sunset Ridge Road and on Waukegan Road, the Phase I work will continue and the contractor will be starting the installation of the permanent paving. The lane closures and traffic patterns for this work are already in place.
- From Sunset Ridge Road to Bristol, the Phase I work has started and the contractor will be working on the pavement removal, grading, and drainage installation. The lane closures for this work are already in place.
- Specialty work is planned over the next two weeks to get ready for the first days of school. Temporary sidewalks and protective fencing are planned at Sunset Ridge School, so that kids can safely access the area from Old Willow Road; NICOR is working to finalize utility relocations in the Sunset Ridge Road intersection; the construction phasing is being adjusted to help ensure west bound vehicles have access to Willow Road from Old Willow Road; and the School and Village are developing a traffic control program to ensure pickup and drop off activities can take place safely throughout construction.

Please note that the actual start dates and activities may change due to weather or other conflicts. #willowroadcp
