Week in Review: Accomplishments and Progress
This week, the contractor continued removing the concrete forms from the bridge deck and removed the winter protection from the concrete approach slabs. Reinforcement bar was placed for the sidewalk on the approach slabs, and the concrete sidewalk along both the approach slabs and the bridge deck was successfully framed and poured.
Looking Ahead: Planned Work
Next week, the contractor plans to remove the winter protection from the sidewalk. Weather permitting, work will continue with framing and pouring the parapet wall along the approach slabs and bridge deck.
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.
