For August 26 to September 6 At the August 21, 2013 Willow Road coordination meeting, IDOT and Lorig Construction provided their proposed schedule for the upcoming weeks.
- Northfield schools open on August 28! Motorists are reminded to take extra care and watch for children walking and biking along the construction corridor and on the local roadways.
- The pre-stage work and temporary pavement near Bristol Street and the bridge are expected to be completed early next week. As soon that work is done, traffic will be adjusted and motorists shifted to the south side of the right of way from Bristol Street to the Eden’s Expressway. The project will then be in full Phase I operations and the detour at Bristol Street removed.
- West of Sunset Ridge Road and on Waukegan Road, the contractor will be continuing the installation of drainage and permanent paving. They will then start on the installation of curbs, gutters, and electrical pole foundations. The lane closures and traffic patterns for this work are already in place.
- From Sunset Ridge Road to Bristol, the contractor will be continuing work on grading, drainage, and the sanitary sewer installation. The lane closures for this work are already in place.
- The temporary sidewalks and protective fencing, for access to Sunset Ridge School, at the intersection of Old Willow and Willow, will be installed over the next couple of days and are planned to be in place for opening day on August 28.
