2023 Waukegan Road Water Main Replacement Project

This week (Sept 11 – Sept 15), the contractor completed the pavement patching within the center lanes of Waukegan Road and began the curb and sidewalk repairs in the outside lanes. The contractor will continue working in the outside lanes over the next few weeks to complete the project. Also this week, the contractor began pavement repairs on Warwick Road from Waukegan Road to Warwick Court. This work will require Warwick Road to be reduced to one lane beginning Monday to allow the contractor enough room to safely complete the repairs. During this time, east bound traffic will be permitted and west bound traffic will be required to use an alternate route to reach Waukegan Road. District 109, LRS and the impacted residents will all be notified prior to the implementation of one-way traffic. See below map.

Over the last couple of weeks (Aug 28 – Sept 8), the contractor completed the last of the water main installation for the project. With the completion of the underground work, all efforts are now focused on pavement and parkway restoration. The contractor also was able to complete the majority of the pavement patching in the center lanes. 

Early next week, the contractor will continue to patch the center lanes and should be completed by Wednesday. To complete this work, the contractor will be required to pave through the Greenwood Avenue intersection, thereby limiting left turns during that time. This work is currently scheduled to take place on Tuesday from 9am – 1pm, weather depending. 

Once the center lanes are complete, the contractor will begin working in the outer lanes which will require traffic to be placed in the middle lanes where patching will have been completed. Work in the outer lanes will include curb, sidewalk, pavement, and parkway restoration. The contractor anticipates being completed with the project in two - three weeks.

The Village appreciates your cooperation during this important improvement. For more information, please contact the engineering department at 847.317.2490.

The center lanes of Waukegan Road will be closed for paving operations at Greenwood Avenue on Thursday, August 31, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Greenwood Avenue west of Waukegan will only be available from the southbound lane of Waukegan Road and and traffic turning onto Waukegan Road from the west side of Greenwood Avenue must go south on Waukegan. Similarly, Greenwood Avenue east of Waukegan Road will only be available from the northbound lane of Waukegan Road and and traffic turning onto Waukegan Road from the east side of Greenwood Avenue must go north on Waukegan. 

Access will be maintained as diagramed on the map provided below.  The contractor will reopen this intersection once the asphalt has been placed and has had time to cool.
