Milwaukee Avenue bridge repairs begin Sept. 2

The Illinois Department of Transportation announced that repairs to the bridge carrying Milwaukee Avenue (Illinois 21) over the Union Pacific Railroad in Glenview will require daytime lane closures beginning, weather permitting, Tuesday, Sept. 2.

The project, which consists of repairing the approaches, joint sealers and deteriorated concrete curbs, is anticipated to be completed in September.

The public can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area. Alternative routes are encouraged. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to flaggers and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits and be on the alert for workers and equipment.
