For September 9 to 20
The entire project corridor is now in Phase I operations. That means that both the east and west bound traffic is running on the south side of the corridor while Lorig Construction builds out the northern half of the project. Over the next two weeks, the contractor plans to be working on the following elements:
- Sunset Ridge Road to Waukegan Road - curb and gutter, electrical, and sidewalk installations.
- Waukegan Road - earthwork, subgrade placement and concrete paving operations.
- Sunset Ridge Road to Bristol – pavement and soil removals, water and sanitary main, and drainage system installation. The new drainage system will consist of two, large, parallel pipes under the pavement in the north and south lanes. It starts as a 66” pipe at the river and then transitions to a 48” and 36” pipe as it heads west.
- All of the local schools are now open. Motorists are reminded to be especially careful of children walking and biking adjacent to the construction.
The lane closures and traffic patterns for the work outlined above are already in place.
