This week, underground work continued on the west end of the project, focusing on water main and storm sewer installation. These activities have resulted in increased heavy truck traffic in the area. Overhead utility relocation efforts also progressed west of Stratford Road, as Comcast and AT&T transferred their service lines from the old poles to the new ones. This work is expected to continue into next week.
Starting next week, the contractor will begin working on the east end of Hazel Avenue, between Chestnut Street and Waukegan Road. This work will require a full closure of Hazel Avenue beginning Wednesday, April 16. Detour signage will be installed early in the week to direct motorists around the work zone via Deerfield Road and Greenwood Avenue (for over-height vehicles). The detour will remain in place until early July.
Please note: All scheduling is subject to change based on contractor availability and weather conditions.
