Week in Review: Accomplishments and Progress
This past week, the contractor made progress on both the east and west piers. The concrete stem wall for the east pier was successfully poured, followed by the framing and pouring of the concrete cap. On the west side, the contractor completed driving all shell piles for the west pier and began the installation of concrete forms and rebar for the west pier stem wall, setting the stage for the next phase of construction.
Looking Ahead: Planned Activities
In the upcoming week, the contractor plans to pour the concrete stem wall for the west pier and frame and pour the cap. Additionally, backfilling around the east pier will commence. To enhance safety and secure the worksite, the contractor also anticipates installing a temporary fence on the south side of Oak Spring Road, east of the river.
Community Impact: What to Expect
With the road closure now in effect, residents should be aware that Oak Spring Road from east of the Des Plaines River Trail to west of Hawthorn Lane is closed to traffic for the duration of the project. This closure is necessary to ensure the safety of both the workers and the public. Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated as work to improve the community’s infrastructure continues. Residents are encouraged to stay informed about the project’s progress and any anticipated changes in traffic patterns.
