A North Bound detour of Harlem Avenue from Golf Road to Glenview Road will be established starting Monday, August 28^th.  Northbound traffic will be detoured along Golf Road to Shermer Road to Glenview Road. Southbound traffic will be allowed to travel along Harlem Avenue. The detour is expected to last approximately 1 month.

While the detour is up, the contractor will be milling the existing asphalt surface to a depth of 2-inches. The contractor will then remove the previously installed temporary asphalt pavement over the water main excavation.  Once the temporary pavement is removed, a permanent concrete base will be installed along the water main excavations. The contractor will also perform base repairs of the existing asphalt pavement prior to installed the first layer of asphalt pavement.

During the excavation, concrete installation, and curing period over the water main excavation, steel plates will be installed at each driveway and intersection to allow for vehicular access. There will be times when access will not be possible at certain intersections and driveways while construction is on-going.  Access is anticipated to be re-established at the end of each work day.

We ask that all residents along Harlem Avenue and general public traveling along Harlem Avenue to please allow for additional travel times while construction is on-going and the detour is established. It is recommend an alternate route is utilized if possible.

Thanks for all your patience and understanding as you navigate the northbound detour over the coming weeks.
