Week in Review: Accomplishments and Progress
Last week, the contractor prepared for final site features by setting posts for the proposed fence and pouring the deadman anchor for the cable road guard. Additional work included placement of the aggregate shoulder and the resetting of street signs throughout the project area.
Looking Ahead: Planned Work
This week, the contractor anticipates completing the removal of the temporary fence and installing the permanent fence. Installation of the cable road guard and the parking lot gate is also planned. Pavement striping and other final markings are scheduled to be placed and completed, weather permitting.
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.
At this time, it is estimated that the contractor will complete the remaining work and have the Oak Spring Road bridge open to traffic by mid-July, pending unforeseen circumstances.
