Construction Updates: Waukegan Road water main and Pine Street improvements

Waukegan Road Water Main Replacement: The Village is preparing to replace the water main along Waukegan Road from just north of Golf Road to Harrison Street. This work is now anticipated to begin Monday, May 11, and be completed by July, weather permitting.

While much of this construction will take place along Waukegan Road, the first phase will require a temporary closure of Overlook Drive from May 11 through June 5. This closure will be in place continuously, 24-7, to ensure work is performed safely for crews and the public. A signed detour route will be in place.

Once water main improvements are completed, the Illinois Dept. of Transportation (IDOT) will resurface the roadway.

The remaining sections of Waukegan Road, between East Lake Avenue and Linneman Street, are planned for future improvements. These improvements are expected to include water main replacement, streetscape enhancements and roadway resurfacing.

Please drive carefully through construction zones. Residents can anticipate lane closures throughout the project, and drivers are encouraged to find alternate routes, when possible.

Pine Street Improvements: Construction crews are continuing improvements on Pine Street between Glenview Road and Prairie Street. Detours and partial road closures of Pine Street are anticipated during this phase through May 8.

Pine Street is currently closed to southbound traffic and fully closed between the alley and Prairie Avenue to accommodate roadway reconstruction. Following the completion of these improvements, crews will begin construction of the new roadway on Depot Street, just north of Glenview Road. These improvements are expected to be completed by early June. 

Please obey signage along the roadway and find alternate routes, when possible.
