Hazel Avenue Infrastructure Project Update

Construction activity continued this week on the west end of Hazel Avenue, where crews made progress on water main and storm sewer installations. Overhead utility relocation is also moving forward west of Stratford Road as AT&T continues transferring service lines to the newly installed utility poles. This portion of the project will carry into next week.

Today, construction began on the east end of Hazel Avenue, between Chestnut Street and Waukegan Road. As previously announced, this roadway section will be fully closed to traffic to allow underground utility installation. Detour signage is posted, with traffic rerouted via Deerfield Road and Greenwood Avenue for over-height vehicles. The closure is expected to remain in place through early July.

The Village appreciates your patience and cooperation as we work to improve local infrastructure. If you have any questions, please contact the Village of Deerfield Engineering Department at 847.317.2490.

Residents can sign up to receive email and/or text message updates on the project at the Village website under “Notify Me.”
