Main Street and Park Boulevard Progress Update

Main Street (Roosevelt to Fairview) - The work is substantially complete with a few remaining punch list items including the installation of a parkway drain, curb patch, and cleaning of the street drainage structures.  As a reminder, the Illinois Department of Transportation will be resurfacing the balance of the intersection of Main and Roosevelt this summer as part of its Roosevelt Road resurfacing project.

Park Boulevard (Roosevelt to Fairview) - Nicor is nearly complete with its utility relocation work being performed as part of the project.  It is tentatively anticipated that the one-way northbound only traffic configuration through this corridor of Park Boulevard will be implemented on Monday, July 9. Changeable Message Signs will be installed (on Park) one week in advance of the traffic configuration change to notify the motoring Public.  Commencement of the sewer/water utility and roadway work will immediately follow the implementation of the one-way traffic control plan.

Park Boulevard (Fairview to Crescent) - Completion of the spot curb/gutter and sidewalk removal and replacement work is anticipated by the week of June 25.  Cleanup of the work area including barricade removal and backfilling along sidewalks and curbs is also anticipated to be completed the week of June 25.  The underground contractor is in the process of removing the manhole frames/covers in the roadway.  This operation facilitates more efficient milling (removal) of the asphalt pavement.

Park/Hill Intersection - Reconstruction of the Park/Hill intersection is underway.  All roadway pavement in the intersection has been removed with the contractor currently focusing on excavation, construction of the stone sub-grade and sub-base, and fine grading of the intersection prior to concrete paving.
