Thank you to all the residents that are without access to their driveways throughout the week and over the Memorial Day weekend. Your patience and understanding is greatly appreciated. We understand the significant inconvenience this causes, but it is the most efficient way to get the project completed and eliminates the need to be out of your driveway multiple times.

The first layer of asphalt paving is scheduled to be completed next week. This will be a project milestone because it will eliminate most of the dust along the project site and provide a smooth driving surface.

No work will be performed on-site over the holiday weekend.

Have a fun and safe Memorial Day!!!

Roadway Reconstruction Begins

Work Completed Last Week, May 9th to 13th
·         Replaced sanitary sewer mainline pipes and manholes from Grove Street to Maclean Court
·         Replaced sanitary sewer services to individual homes
·         Made final water main connection at Hutchings and Grove
·         Completed storm sewer installation
·         Abandoned old water valves and fire hydrants.

Work Anticipated to be completed Next week, May 16th to May 20th
·         Begin roadway excavation and installation of aggregate base course
·         Concrete curb & gutter installation

By the end of the week, the majority of the underground utility improvements should be completed with only a few minor items remaining. The project will be moving into the roadway reconstruction phase next week.

During the roadway reconstruction phase, the existing roadway will be excavated approximately 12-inches deep with new aggregate base course installed prior to installing new concrete curb & gutter and asphalt pavement. During this time, it will be increasingly more difficult to drive along the roadway during working hours because the entire roadway width will be excavated at the same time. Access will be granted to driveways each evening. We are requesting you do not park along the Hutchings Avenue during working hours and move vehicles to side streets if they are needed during the day.

Once the roadway is excavated and new aggregate base course is installed, new concrete curb & gutter will be installed. Additional details will be provided regarding the schedule of this work, allowable parking, and restrictions to driveway access. Access to driveways will be restricted for approximately 1 week during the concrete curb & gutter pouring and curing process.

Thank you again for all your patience and understanding as the project moves into the roadway reconstruction phase which presents new inconveniences as the process continues.

Water Main Improvements Completed. Sanitary Sewer Replacement to Begin

Work Completed Last Week, May 2nd to May 6th  
·         Completed water service replacements
·         Abandoned old water main piping, valves, and fire hydrants
·         Completed storm sewer services
·         Completed storm sewer installation
·         Removed remaining concrete pavement
o   Asphalt grindings and aggregate base course were installed to construct a temporary roadway.

Work Anticipated to be completed Next week, May 9th to May 13th  
·         Grove Street, at Hutchings Avenue, closed Monday May 9th
·         Water main connection at Hutchings and Grove Street, Friday, May 13th.
·         Begin sanitary sewer main line pipe and manhole replacement
·         Begin sanitary sewer service replacements to individual homes

The majority of the storm sewer mainline and service replacements are completed. The water main and service replacements are completed with the exception of the final connection at the intersection of Grove Street and Hutchings Avenue. This water shut-down is currently scheduled for Friday, May 13th to reduce the effect on the businesses in the area.

The next phase of construction will be the replacement of the existing sanitary sewer mainline piping, manholes, and services to individual homes. The contractor will being this work on Monday. Due to the location of the existing sanitary sewer in the center of the roadway, it will be very difficult traveling along the roadway during working hours, we are requesting you please have your vehicles out of your driveway by 7:00 AM each morning. The contractor should have access restored by 5:00 each evening. It is anticipating the sanitary sewer replacement will take approximately 2 weeks.

Due to the locations of the sanitary sewer, it was also determined it was best to remove the remaining concrete pavement and construct a temporary aggregate roadway during the sanitary sewer replacement and prior to the roadway reconstruction beginning. Please be assured, the Village will monitor the condition of the roadway to ensure it is as easily accessible as possible.

Thank you again for all your patience and understanding as the project moves into a new phase and new inconveniences are being experienced by all residents within the construction area.
