The Village of Glenview will provide resident surveys in the coming weeks for you to complete regarding the construction work and notifications provided. Please take a few moments to complete this survey. The information will allow us to know what aspects of the project we are doing well at and which areas we need to improve upon in the future.

Thanks again for all your patience and understanding throughout the construction project. We understand it was an extended period of time in which the roadway was under construction. We hope that you are happy with the improvements made.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Robert Steele, Village Project Manager, at 847-904-4423.

First Layer of Asphalt Scheduled for Week of October 2nd

Work Performed, September 25^th to September 29^th    

·         Clean roadway from debris following pavement removal operations

·         Performed additional concrete patching identified following pavement removal.

·         Preparatory work prior to paving 1^st layer of asphalt pavement.

·         Continued with landscape restorations

Work Anticipated to be Performed, October 2^nd to October 6^th   

·         Complete remaining concrete repairs.

·         Continue with landscape restorations.

·         Complete preparatory work prior to paving first layer of asphalt

·         Pave first layer of asphalt pavement.

Following the removal of the asphalt pavement and observing vehicles traveling over the areas previously milled, it was determined additional patching should be completed prior to begin paving operations.

The contractor does anticipate getting all the additional patching completed by early next week. Once the patching is completed, the first layer of new asphalt pavement will be paved. Currently the asphalt paving is scheduled for Thursday of next week.

During paving operations, traffic will be reduced to 1 lane and vehicles routed around the work area with flaggers.  The contractor will also be working in the Glenview Road / Harlem Avenue intersection.  Please plan accordingly as we anticipate significant travel delays again.

Once the first layer of asphalt pavement is installed, the amount of dust will be greatly reduced.

Thanks again for all your understanding.
