The underground utility work has been completed along the project site including water main replacement, water service replacement, sanitary sewer service replacement, and storm sewer improvements. The project has now moved into the roadway reconstruction phase.

The roadway reconstruction phase includes removing the existing concrete pavement and existing materials below the pavement to obtain a stable base. The roadway will be constructed with a geotechnical fabric between existing ground the gravel base, new 3-inch and 1 ¼-inch gravel base with a total depth of approximately 12-inches, 9-inches of asphalt pavement, and new concrete curb & gutter.

The roadway excavation and installation of geotechnical fabric and gravel base are in the process of being constructed. The next step will be to prepare for and pour the concrete curb & gutter followed to fine grading the gravel base and paving the first layers of asphalt pavement.

Over the next 2 weeks, driveway access will be restricted to all residents along the project site. Access will be restricted from the time the string-line for the concrete curb & gutter is set to the paving of the first layers of asphalt pavement. The exact dates for the beginning of driveway restrictions is not yet determined, but it will likely start early the week of July 17th with access restored by July 28thThe Village of Glenview will provided notices to all residents affected by the driveway restrictions. The notification will include dates and times to have vehicles removed from the driveway, available parking options, and anticipated timeframe access will be restored.

As you are aware, a significant rainfall event occurred during the middle of the week.  Unfortunately due to the stage of the construction, a portion of the roadway was closed until the roadway could be made passible the following day.

Thanks again for all your patience and understanding as you deal with the extended driveway restriction in the coming weeks.
