Week in Review: Accomplishments and Progress
This week, the contractor milled the canoe launch parking lot and completed placement of the final lift of hot mix asphalt surface course for the roadway, shoulder, driveway, and parking lot. Tree planting was also completed across the site. On the bridge, the contractor grooved the deck and applied a protective coating to the bridge deck, curb, and sidewalk, finalizing surface treatments for those elements.
Looking Ahead: Planned Work
Next week, the contractor plans to begin landscape restoration throughout the project area and will begin grading along the edge of the roadway.
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.
