Dewes Streeet: Underground Utility Work to Begin. Topp Lane: Road Reconstruction Continues

Dewes Street

Work Performed:

·         Mobilization of equipment and materials

·         Saw-cutting concrete pavement in locations of underground utility repairs

·         Met with Village staff on-site to review utility lay-out

Work Anticipated to be performed, July 16^th to July 20^th

·         Begin water main installation along Dewes Street starting at Spruce Street and working west to Shermer Road.

The heavy construction is starting later than anticipated due to scheduling conflicts. It is anticipated the water main installation will begin in the middle of next week.  It is planned the contractor will eventually bring two crews to work on the site at the same time to make up for lost time.

As construction begins, residents will notice it will be increasingly more difficult to travel along Dewes Street. Delays are anticipated traveling along the roadway, but we will do everything possible to minimize the delays to the greatest extent possible.

Thank you in advance for all your patience and understanding.

Next Thursday, the contractor is anticipating to begin the roadway reconstruction phase of the project. This work will include removing the remaining asphalt pavement, excavating the existing base materials as needed to acquire a stable roadway base, installation of new aggregate base materials, new concrete curb & gutter on both sides of the roadway, and new asphalt pavement.  The length of time this work will take will be based on how much existing material needs to be removed to get to a stable base.

During roadway reconstruction, the entire width of the roadway will be excavated during the day. It will be difficult to travel along Topp Lane.  Driveway and roadway access will be restricted during working hours, but restored at the end of each day. Additional information will be provided next week.
