Please see below for a weekly update from the Cook County Highway Department regarding construction on 5th Ave.:
This week, asphalt paving has begun on 5th Ave. Paving is scheduled to finish up late this week / early next week. This includes both street paving and driveway paving.
Next week, when paving is complete, roadway striping and signage installation will be completed.
The following week, sod installation is scheduled. This sod will be installed with the intention of going dormant this year and taking root in the spring. This is a common practice in sod installation at this time of the year. We will be monitoring the green up of all sod next Spring to make sure that if there is any die off over winter that it is replaced.
The street is tentatively set to be open to public traffic by 10/30.
