ENGINEERING

IN THE WORKS

UPCOMING MAJOR 2022 CONSTRUCTION:

159th Street Land Bridge Extension (104th Avenue to Ravinia Avenue) This Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) project will address the settling pavement for the eastbound lanes that occurs approximately one-quarter mile east of 104th Avenue. IDOT is proposing to remove approximately 435 feet of existing roadway and replace it with bridge approach slab and land bridge pavement. The project will also remove and replace other affected infrastructure such as curb and gutter, multi-use path, storm sewer and guardrail. For construction, all roadway traffic will be switched east of the104th Avenue intersection to the westbound lanes. IDOT is planning to bid the contract for this work in March 2022. If the project is bid as planned, construction would start in May 2022 and anticipated completion in October 2022.

Pump Station Bypass The project will provide an additional layer of redundancy for maintaining the Village water supply. The improvement will provide an emergency connection inside of the pump station that will allow the Village to maintain water service to the community from the Village of Oak Lawn. Emergency connection piping will be designed to fit the existing infrastructure inside the pump station.

Doctor Marsh Nature Trail and Parking Lot This project will meet the Illinois Department of Natural Resources requirement for the grant funding received to purchase the Stellwagen Farm property. A boardwalk and asphalt path will be provided, as well as a ten car asphalt parking lot. A gazebo and viewing area will also be included with the project. The entrance to the trail will be off of 155th Street, which connects to Wolf Road.
