Tollway Bridge on Route 22 Construction Updates

November 5, 2009

The contractor will be performing paving on the north side of Route 22 as they tty to complete the Stage 2 improvements. These improvements will almost entirely complete the north side of construction. Following this Stage, the contractor will be switching traffic from Stage 2 to Stage 3 of the project. This stage will focus on construction of the center medians along Route 22. The eastbound and westbound traffic will be pushed to the outer lanes and turn lanes will be opened up to allow traffic to flow more freely. While delays should be expected initially, this traffic pattern will allow for more traffic to flow through the construction zone, which ultimately should ease congestion. This traffic switch is currently planned for November 10th - 13th.

Additionally, the contractor is planning for traffic switches at some of the Tollway Ramps and at the Hewitt and Lakeside intersections. Please pay close attention to the posted signage, as traffic patterns will change due to this construction activity.

Following the next traffic switch to complete the center median areas, the configuration is expected to remain in-place until the end of the project. Based on the most recent schedule, the project remains on schedule for completion in mid to late December, with no carry-over construction into 2010.

The Village will pass along pertinent information as it becomes available to us.

Caution, 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.
