Lake Shore Drive Water Main Replacement (Green Tree Court- Sprucewood Lane)- Completed
Project Update 4/11/24:
The construction to replace the remaining water main along Lake Shore Drive, between Green Tree Court and Sprucewood Lane, has been completed. Construction crews have finished installing the new 12" water main and have connected water service to homes along the route. Contractors have also installed curbs, completed pavement patches, and completed landscape restorations along the route. We appreciate residents' patience over the past few months during construction!
Project Scope:In continuing with the Village's water main improvements, the balance of the water main along Lake Shore Drive, between Green Tree Court and Sprucewood Lane, is slated for removal and replacement beginning in February 2024. The Lake Shore Drive project started with removing and replacing the water main on Lake Shore Drive from Beck Road to Green Tree Court in 2022. This project will continue the upgrades of the water main from a 6-inch to a 12-inch diameter pipe to allow for a better flow pattern between adjacent water mains and will better serve the residents in the area.
Please note that this project is not part of the Lake Shore Drive/Sprucewood Lane/Hawthorne Drive Road Project under the Federal Aid Urban (FAU) Program, which is slated to begin in the late Spring/ Summer of 2024.
If you have questions, comments, or concerns regarding the project, please contact Charles Hernandez, Utility Systems Manager, at 847-356-8252.
Hawthorne Dr./Sprucewood Lane/Lake Shore Drive Project- late Spring/ Summer 2024Due to the Village's preparedness in being shovel-ready to begin the Lake Shore Drive Project, the Village has received additional funding of $1.2 million. This increases the funding of the overall project from just over $2.1 million to $3.32 million. The additional funding allows the roadway project to extend westward along Sprucewood Lane to Rolling Ridge Lane.
The beginning work for the Lake Shore Drive Project has already started. The appraisals on the needed private easements for construction have been submitted to the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) for their review. The Village will need to obtain eleven temporary and one permanent easement along the project route to facilitate construction. The primary purpose of the temporary easements is to regrade driveway slopes to better meet the new roadway profile and sidewalks, where applicable. A permanent easement will be needed within Linden's Landing for the purposes of stormwater improvements. Those affected by the needed acquisition of the easements have been contacted by a third-party to discuss the details of the acquisition process. Timely acquisition of the easements will allow the Village to meet bidding and construction schedules.
Prior to the roadway reconstruction, the water main along the route beginning at Green Tree Court to Sprucewood Lane will be replaced. The Village is targeting a winter 2023 bid for the Lake Shore Drive Project, with the estimated construction starting in July 2024.
