The underground utility improvements (sanitary sewer, water main, and storm sewer) of the project are nearly completed. It is anticipated the work will be completed by the end of this week. There are likely some minor adjustments and work to be completed following this week, but the major construction of these items will be completed.

The contractor is beginning the roadway improvements along Hudson Road and York Road this week. The roadway improvements will include removing the existing asphalt pavement, installing new gravel base materials, repair unstable areas of the existing materials under the roadway, new concrete curb & gutter, and new asphalt pavement. Likely, the roadway excavation and aggregate base course installation will be performed this week, with concrete curb & gutter performed in the coming weeks.

Additional conflicts with utility company underground cables were identified this week. The Village has been in contact with these companies and requesting the cables be relocated and quickly as possible to prevent further delays in the project.

Thanks again for all your patience and understanding as we switch from the underground utility improvement phase to the roadway improvement phase of the project.
