Downtown Construction Update - Week of October 28(From Public Works)
Last week the contractor completed the roadway patching along North Harrison Street between Front and Edwards streets. Crews began installing the mainline sewer north of Edwards Street and will continue progressing north over the next several weeks.
This week, residents can expect construction work to be focused between Edwards Street and 405 North Harrison Street. Residents within the work zone will be able to access their properties from the north or south, depending on the current sewer installation location. All other traffic should continue to follow the detour to access their properties.
Safety is our top priority and traffic control devices have been installed to protect motorists and pedestrians.
During construction, we encourage residents and visitors to continue to patronize local businesses in the area as they're open during construction. These businesses can be accessed from the south off Algonquin Road or Front Street. Please note, Fox 14 Marina is open during construction and accessible from the north, off Blackhawk Trail.
Detour Alert
The Stage 2 detour is expected to remain in place for several weeks. North Riverview Drive between North Main and Park streets will be closed as part of the stage 2 detour. Access to the residents and businesses within the work zone will be maintained.
Algonquin Howl-O-Ween Dog Parade
There were so many great costumes at the Algonquin Howl-O-Ween Dog Parade today! Here are a few of them.
North Main St. (north of Rt. 62/Algonquin Rd) - New Construction Alert
(From Public Works) The Village has been fortunate to put together an agreement with Arrow Road construction to place an asphalt overlay on North Main St. north of Rt. 62/Algonquin Rd. before winter is upon us. The asphalt overlay will address the current roadway condition to provide a new, smoother surface for drivers. That is the good news. The challenging news is the addition of more construction in the area.
Arrow will be doing some minor prep work on Thursday and Friday on North Main St. with full paving operations to begin on Monday October 28. All work will be done with flaggers on site to allow traffic to continue to use North Main St. as the construction progresses.
We urge everyone to use the Rt. 31 Bypass to avoid delays in the construction zone.
This work will provide a significantly better driving surface for motorists and pedestrians.
As always, we appreciate your patience and understanding as we make these important improvements.
