The Pavement Grinding is Complete along Lake Street

The contractor removed the top surface of the existing pavement along Lake Street from Center Street to IL 83. They also sprayed a prime coat, and weather permitting, plan to pave the first layer of asphalt along Lake Street from Washington Street to IL 83 on Saturday, June 23rd.

Next week, weather permitting, the contractors plan to;

  • Pave the first layer of asphalt along Lake Street between Center Street and Washington Street.
  • Complete the remaining sections of concrete sidewalk along Lake Street from Center Street to IL 83.
  • Pave the asphalt bike path from Doolittle Park and Jamestown Court.
  • Install the traffic signal loop detectors in various locations.

Motorists should continue to expect daily lane closures and lane shifts along Lake Street as progress continues. Please be alert and aware of flaggers, construction workers, and construction equipment when traveling through the work zones.
