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.

Water Services to Start on Locust

Woodmere Lane:

The roadway was paved last week as part of the 2013 Village Resurfacing Project.

The final step in completing the project will be the installation of sod. Sod will not be installed until after the Labor Day weekend due to more favorable growing conditions.

Locust Lane:

Last week the Village received all the required test results and permits to allow the contractor to begin installing water services to the residents.

Next week, the contractor will begin installing water services to individual residents and complete the remaining underground utility work including connecting the new water main to the existing systems and abandoning the old water main. During the connections to the existing water main, there will likely be a scheduled water main shut off. Residents will be notified 24-hours in advance prior to any scheduled water main shut-down.

During water service installation and connection to the existing service, water to individual homes will be shut off for a short period of time. The contractor will knock on the door of any home that will not have water prior to turning it off. The contractor will attempt to give each resident approximately 1 hour notice prior to turning of the water to install the water service.

Thank you for your patience during the construction operations.
