Update On Walkup Road Project


South section:
Paving of the intersection of IL 176 and Walkup will continue into next week. 

This will be followed by grading of the areas behind the curb, installation of sidewalks where possible, and landscaping of the ground.  Walkup Road (Railroad Tracks to IL Route 176) is scheduled to REOPEN on Friday, September 21st. 


Staging of the traffic on IL 176 will move to the new pavement soon so work can start on the north side of the road. 


Please be alert and watch for information on the website and the message boards in the work zone. 


Work continues on the new retaining wall along Veteran Acres park.   The contractor is prepping the area to the north of the wall and will soon start placing the stone base in preparation for asphalt along Walkup.

 North section:
Storm sewer installations are nearing completion for this stage.  The contractor has graded the north end and is anticipated to start placing the stone base next week.  This will be followed closely with the installation of the curb and then asphalt will be installed.

As always, please drive alertly through the work zones, watch for workers, and remember cell phone use is prohibited.
