Week in Review:
Work has been shut down again this week due to high water levels, strong river currents, and the displacement of the in-stream turbidity curtain caused by recent rain events.
Looking Ahead: Planned Activities
The contractor plans to continue with the bridge demolition as soon as the water level returns to safe working conditions, which is anticipated to be Monday, August 5th. 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.
