Waukegan Road Construction Underway After Delay
Although work along Waukegan Road was delayed by July’s labor union strike, construction is now moving along. Here’s an update.
Project Timeline
- Phase I of the project -- which involved the Village installing curb bump-outs and raised medians along the road -- wrapped up in August.
- Phase II -- the resurfacing of the road between Golf and Willow -- is now underway. Motorists have no doubt already encountered the Illinois Department of Transportation’s contractor along Waukegan in past weeks; there are ongoing lane closures wherever the contractor is working – regardless of the time of day. You may wish to give yourself some extra time if you plan to use Waukegan.
- Resurfacing should be completed by the end of September. At that point, the Village will begin Phase III of the project: installing stamped, colored concrete pedestrian crosswalks along Waukegan at five intersections:
- Overlook
- Dewes
- Glenview
- Grove
- East Lake
Commuter Parking During Construction
During construction, travel times to the Metra stations may be impacted – particularly for those commuters traveling from the east, north or south. In an effort to provide all commuter parking placard holders (resident and non-resident) with some flexibility during this time, the Village has opened up the Gallery Park lot at the corner of West Lake and Lehigh Avenues for temporary commuter parking through Friday, October 29.
Downtown Glenview placard holders may also park at the Glen of North Glenview station during this same period; use of the East Lot is particularly recommended due to its larger capacity.
Unfortunately, commuters holding a Glen of North Glenview parking placard will not be able to park at the Downtown Glenview station due to the limited number of spaces.
Road construction can be frustrating -- thank you for your patience during this time and please feel free to call IDOT at (773) 594-0723 or the Village’s Capital Projects Department at (847) 998-9500 with questions or concerns.
