For November 26 to December 6
The contractor is working to get the area ready for winter, with the following work contemplated over the next two weeks:
- Waukegan to 3 Lakes - Pavement operations will be ongoing followed by the installation of curbs, gutters and sidewalks.
- 3 Lakes to Sunset Ridge Road – The sub-grade operations are expected to be completed this week. Next week the contractor will work on the pavement installation followed by the curb and gutter work.
- Somerset Road/Old Willow Road Detour - The detour is anticipated to end on Friday. When the intersection reopens, it will be in its final configuration, which will only allow for west bound access out to Willow Road.

- Sunset Ridge to Wagner – Pavement operations are expected to continue on Wednesday and Friday this week and then all of next week as well. Once that work is completed, they will start installing the curbs and gutters.
- Wagner to Middlefork Bridge – AT&T’s is still in the process of completing their asbestos removal work. They anticipate finishing by the end of this week and then next week the contractor will start on the sanitary and drainage systems in this area.
- Old Willow Road Detour – The contractor is in the process of reopening this intersection. It is anticipated being opened to traffic later today.
- Winter Plan. Over the next two to three weeks the winter plan will be put into effect. This plan includes finishing the pavement installation and moving traffic to the south side of the right of way between Chapel Hill Lane and 3 Lakes Drive; installing new pavement marking to more clearly delineate the lanes; providing temporary asphalt access where the pavement is not completed; and installing alternative barriers, to help ensure effective snow removal and motorist safety. Over the winter months, weather permitting, the contractor will be work on utilities and removals.
