Intersection of Route 22 and 21 Construction Updates

August 27, 2009

As part of the reconstruction of intersection at Route 22 and US45/IL21 (Milwaukee Avenue) the contractor will be reconfiguring lane locations throughout the intersection. The traffic pattern changes are currently planned for September 9th, but the contractor is requesting that date be moved up to as early as next Tuesday. Therefore, please use caution in these areas as they may change without notice.

The contractor is now moving into phase I of the construction, this will include, temporary pavement installation, reconfiguration of traffic patterns, activation of temporary traffic signals and utility installations and relocations. As part of that work, the contractor will be again be modifying the traffic patterns at the intersection. Please be aware, that during the initial traffic shift, it may take the contractor a day or two to configure the temporary traffic signal cameras to manage the new traffic pattern. Also, please pay attention to the posted signage, as changes to the traffic patterns will take time to become accustom to, especially during the configuration of the signals.

This configuration is expected to remain in-place throughout much of the remainder of this year. The projected completion for this project remains July 2010.

Due to the impact of the construction at this intersection, we strongly recommend allowing yourself extra time to get through the construction zone, or consider alternate routes. As always, the Village will pass along information to you as it is provided.

As a reminder, reduced speed limits are in effect 24/7 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.
