The contractor has completed the required removal of existing pavement on Everett Road and Riverwoods Road. They are now completing base preparation and placing the hard surfaces (curb, gutter, and road surface), specifically on the north side of Everett Road and the west side of Riverwoods Road. Please pay close attention to the traffic control measures, as these construction activities can be distracting to drivers. Following this work, the contractor will shift traffic onto the new pavement in these areas, to allow them to construct the median areas. This work is not scheduled for approximately 2-3 weeks.

Village Staff will be meeting with the County and the contractor on a regular bi-weekly basis to keep you updated with any new information that arises.

As a reminder, reduced speed limits will still be in effect in this and all construction zones, whether or not workers are present. Drivers should continue to watch for changing traffic patterns and use caution, especially when workers are present. Police agencies have zero tolerance for drivers speeding in work zones. The minimum penalty for speeding in a work zone is $375. Posted signs advise motorists of a $10,000 fine and 14-year jail sentence for hitting a roadway worker.
