Week in Review
This past week, the contractor was unable to perform work due to high water levels. The recent rain events have caused the river water level to rise to an unsafe level for work to continue on the bridge demolition.
Looking Ahead: Planned Activities
In the upcoming week, the contractor plans to resume bridge demolition as soon as the water levels recede to safe working conditions. Monitoring of the water levels will continue to ensure the safety of the crew and the effectiveness of the erosion control measures in place.
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.
