2021 Roadway Resurfacing Update

This week the Village’s resurfacing contractor has started the final phase of the project with the two remaining streets, Arlington Drive and Bartels Road. Residents will see milling operations wrapping up on these two streets this week and weather depending, paving will also begin. The Village is pleased to have resurfaced almost six miles of Village streets and make ADA improvements as part of this project.

As always residents will have access to their street and driveways during the construction progress, however minor delays may occur. If you have any questions or concerns regarding construction activities, please contact Public Works at 630-823-5700 for additional information.

2021 Resurfacing and Water Main Project

All the underground work has been completed on this project. Concrete work, including curb and gutter and sidewalk, is scheduled to be completed early next week, weather permitting. Temporary access to driveways, affected by construction work, are being restored. The Village’s contractor will start milling pavement surface next week and will be followed by pavement patching.

The public will have access to the streets during construction; however, minor delays may occur. If you have any questions or concerns regarding construction activities, please contact Public Works at 630-823-5700 for additional information.
