Week in Review: Accomplishments and Progress
This past week, the contractor completed the installation of lagging and wall drains for the retaining walls and began setting rebar for these structures. The crane was mobilized on-site to set the precast beams, and the delivery and installation of precast beams for the east section of the bridge (bridge span 3) were completed.
Looking Ahead: Planned Activities
In the upcoming week, the contractor anticipates delivering and setting the precast beams for the west and middle sections of the bridge (spans 1 and 2). Work on the retaining walls will continue, with rebar installation progressing and framing beginning for the concrete retaining walls on the north and south sides of Oak Spring Road, east 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.
