Kates Road Bridge Construction to Start


Construction can now start on the Kates Road Bridge following passage of a State budget. The project is funded in part from Federal funds that are passed through the State to Deerfield. With the budget now in place, the Illinois Department of Transportation has lifted its moratorium on road construction projects that involve State money.

It may take up to one week for the contractor, Lorig Construction, to fully mobilize and start work on the project. This delay is not expected to substantially impact the schedule and work is still slated to end by Thanksgiving.

On March 20, the Village Board concurred with IDOT to award the contract to fully reconstruct the Kates Road Bridge to Lorig Construction Company in an amount of $2.01 million. The scope of work for the project is bridge deck replacement, grind and resurface Pfingsten/Kates Road between Lake Cook Road and Waukegan Road, repair any pavement failures, minor drainage improvements, and modernization of the traffic signal at Kates Road and Corporate 500 Drive. The Federal government is paying for 80 percent of the project, with the Village paying the remaining 20 percent.
