2025 Hazel Avenue Reconstruction Project

The Hazel Avenue Reconstruction Project includes the full water main replacement, roadway reconstruction and sidewalk improvements between Waukegan Road and Wilmot Road. This project was designed to meet federal funding standards and in 2023, was selected to receive nearly $5M in federal funding.

Preliminary work to accommodate the project improvements, such as tree removals and ComEd pole relocations, will begin in late February and the contractor will start underground utility installation west of Stratford Road in early March. The contractor anticipates completing the project by Thanksgiving 2025. This project will use daytime lane closures and detours throughout the duration of the project. Motorists are encouraged to seek alternate routes during construction when possible.

Interested residents are encouraged to sign up for updates regarding the project from the Village’s project specific blog. For more information, please visit the Village’s website or contact Tyler Dickinson, Assistant Director of Public Works & Engineering at 847.719.7463 or tdickinson@deerfield.il.us.
