Sod Restorations Completed

The contractor completed the sod restorations along Woodmere Lane and Locust Lane last week.

The contractor will continue to water the sod until it is established and healthy.

The projects are now completed with the exception of a few minor repairs to be made following a final walk-through with Village staff.

Sod Restoration On-Going

Woodmere Lane:

No work performed on-site.

The landscape contractor is currently completing the sod installation on Locust Lane and is anticipated to move to Woodmere Lane early next week.

The contractor will also perform the asphalt patching work at Woodmere and Glenview Road.  

Locust Lane:

Last week the landscape contractor completed the grading and installation of topsoil along the roadway and began installing sod. The sod restoration is scheduled to be completed later this week or early next week.

Once the sod restorations are done, the projects on both roadways will be completed.

Sod Restoration Scheduled for week of September 16th

Woodmere Lane:

Repair to sanitary sewer completed. The contractor will install an asphalt patch of the roadway in the near future.

Sod restoration is anticipated to begin on Monday, September 16^th.  We appreciate your patience with the sod installation and waiting for more favorable growing conditions.

Locust Lane:

Last week the contractor performed some miscellaneous repairs and structure adjustments along the project site.

Next week, the contractor is scheduled to complete grading and installing topsoil along with sod installation on Monday, September 16^th.

Once the sod restorations are done, the projects on both roadways will be completed.

Asphalt Paving Completed

Woodmere Lane:

No work completed on-site last week.

The final step in completing the project will be the installation of sod. Depending on the weather conditions, the contractor may begin installing sod next week. Otherwise, the contractor will wait until the weather is cooler for more favorable growing conditions. It is likely the contractor will begin installing sod the week of September 16th.

Locust Lane:

Last week the contractor performed landscape grading along the parkways in preparation for the installation of sod. The landscape grading and topsoil installation is nearly complete. A leak detection test of the new water main was also performed.

On Friday, the paving subcontractor completed the installation of the asphalt surface layer.

Depending on the weather conditions, the contractor may begin installing sod. Otherwise, the contractor will wait until the weather is cooler for more favorable growing conditions. It is likely the contractor will begin installing sod the week of September 16th.

  

Thank you for your patience during the construction operations.

Asphalt Binder Installed on Locust Lane

Woodmere Lane:

No work completed on-site last week.

The final step in completing the project will be the installation of sod. Depending on the weather conditions, the contractor may begin installing sod. Otherwise, the contractor will wait until the weather is cooler for more favorable growing conditions.

Locust Lane:

Last week the contractor performed work in preparation for asphalt paving including grading of the existing aggregate base course, repairing unstable sections of the base course, and saw-cutting of intersections and driveways. The contractor also installed the asphalt binder layer on the roadway.

Next week, the contractor is scheduled to perform landscape grading, topsoil installation, leakage testing, and other miscellaneous tasks. Depending on the weather conditions, the contractor may begin installing sod. Otherwise, the contractor will wait until the weather is cooler for more favorable growing conditions.

Once the landscape restoration is completed, the asphalt surface layer will be installed.

Now that the asphalt binder is installed, the amount of dust will be greatly reduced.

Thank you for your patience during the construction operations, including driving on a gravel roadway and dusty conditions.

Pavement Removal Completed on Locust Lane

Woodmere Lane:

No work completed on-site last week.

The final step in completing the project will be the installation of sod and installing pavement markings at Glenview Road. Sod will not be installed until after the Labor Day weekend due to more favorable growing conditions.

Locust Lane:

Last week the contractor completed the remaining underground utility improvements and removed the existing asphalt pavement.

Next week, the contractor is scheduled to perform fine grading of the aggregate base course and asphalt paving.

Now that the asphalt pavement is removed, the roadway is essentially a gravel roadway until the new asphalt pavement is installed. The Village is committed to ensuring the roadway is as smooth as possible.

Thank you for your patience during the construction operations.
