Week in Review: Accomplishments and Progress
This past week, the contractor completed the delivery and installation of the precast beams for the west and middle sections of the bridge (spans 1 and 2). Rebar installation for the retaining walls was finalized, and work advanced with framing and pouring of the concrete retaining walls east of the bridge. Additionally, framing of the bridge deck commenced, marking a significant step in the bridge construction process.
Looking Ahead: Planned Activities
In the upcoming week, the contractor plans to continue framing and pouring the concrete retaining walls and will proceed with framing the bridge deck to prepare for subsequent construction phases.
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.
