Week in Review: Accomplishments and Progress
This week, the contractor completed the framing and pouring of the concrete retaining walls, as was the framing of the bridge deck. The contractor also began placing reinforcement bars for the bridge deck, preparing the structure for the next phase of construction.
Looking Ahead: Planned Activities
Next week, the contractor anticipates completing the placement of rebar for the bridge deck and, weather permitting, proceeding with pouring the deck. Coordination with MCI is also planned for the replacement of their underground conduit and fiber optic cable along the south side of the bridge.
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.
