Traffic Alert-Walkup Avenue and Route 176

Tomorrow, Thursday May 17, 2012 –
Nicor will be taking an old gas main out of service on portions of Walkup Avenue and IL Rte 176.

In doing this they will be purging the line of gas so there may be noticeable odors.  Per Nicor, please do not be concerned as this is a controlled situation. 

They will also have a few hot taps where they will have a small standpipe burning off the gas where they are welding the new mains to the old mains.

The work will occur in several areas on Walkup Ave (UPRR tracks to Burning Bush Trail) and IL Rte 176 (UPRR viaduct to 1st St.)

Police and Fire have been notified of these activities.
