Work Completed Last Week
The contractor finished installing the parking lot gate and continued work on the handrail installation.
Work Anticipated This Week
This week, the contractor plans to complete the handrail installation and remove the temporary fence. Grinding and patching of the parapet and retaining walls is anticipated to be completed, along with removal of the silt fence. Punch list work is also scheduled to begin.
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.
