Week in Review: Accomplishments and Progress
Last week, the proposed fence and cable road guard were fully installed, and foundations were poured for the future parking lot gate. Handrailing was delivered and installation began. Pavement markings were placed throughout the site. The temporary railing was removed, and the final protective coating was applied to the bridge structure.
Looking Ahead: Planned Work
This week, the contractor plans to install the parking lot gate and complete installation of the handrail.
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.
