Week in Review: Accomplishments and Progress
This week, the contractor framed and poured the concrete parapet wall along the north side of the approach slabs and bridge deck. Work also continued on the south side, where the parapet wall was framed, and name plates were set in preparation for the next phase of construction.
Looking Ahead: Planned Work
Next week, weather permitting, the contractor plans to pour the parapet wall along the south side of the approach slabs and bridge deck. Work is also scheduled to begin on removing the work deck and concrete forms along the outside spans of the bridge.
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.
