This week, crews made the following progress:
Finished installing the water main and sanitary sewer along Washington Street between S. Harrison and S. Main streets. The final water main connection at the intersection of Washington and S. Harrison streets will be completed early next week.
Continued installing the sanitary sewer along S. Harrison Street between Washington Street and Algonquin Road. The contractor expects to complete this work by the end of next week, which wraps up sanitary sewer installation work south of Algonquin Road.
Started installing the earth retention system, a temporary support structure for the lift station to be installed at the intersection of La Fox River Drive and Center Street. Crews will continue this work next week.
Replaced the curbs, sidewalks and driveway aprons* along Madison and Washington streets and La Fox River Drive.
Began landscape restoration along La Fox River Drive. The contractor will continue this work next week, weather permitting.
Here's what's coming up next week:
The contractor plans to begin roadway restoration work, which includes grinding out the existing pavement and gravel along the following roads: La Fox River Drive, Washington Street from Main Street to La Fox River Drive, Madison Street from La Fox River Drive to 8 Madison Street. On-street parking on these streets will be prohibited while crews are on site. The contractor will provide advance notice of any vehicle access restrictions.
In coordination with IDOT’s bridge project, the contractor will be grinding and resurfacing Algonquin Road from Main Street to the end of the IDOT bridge construction area. The contractor expects to finish this work in just a few days. Afterward, IDOT’s contractor will complete the pavement markings for their project.
Crews will be installing dewatering well points along N. Harrison Street between Algonquin Road and Front Street. These wells will lower the groundwater to help crews install the last segment of the sanitary sewer. Once the wells are operational, it will take approximately one week before the contractor can begin the sewer installation.
