Project Updates

12.02.2022
This week, Acqua Contractors worked to complete pavement patching and alley reconstruction on the entire project. All pavement and concrete restoration is now completed for the entire project. Next week, the Contractor will be moving on to landscape restoration by preparing disturbed areas for topsoil installation and placement of sod. As we get into December, installed sod will go dormant and should grow nicely with the Spring melt. Weather permitting, clean-up work and all landscaping should be completed by the end of this month.

This week, Acqua Contractors completed installation of all the  storm sewer for this project. On Friday, RW Dunteman (subcontractor to Acqua) began asphalt restoration along York Road. Next week, Acqua will begin clean-up work on the entire project and RW Dunteman will continue to restore concrete and asphalt. Please note that RW Dunteman is planning to continue asphalt work on York Road Saturday November 12. The contractor is scheduled to have the concrete and asphalt restoration completed by the end of this month, and the remainder of restoration for this project is expected to be wrapped up by the end of the year, weather permitting.

This week, Acqua Contractors has completed installing 36” storm sewer main along Center Street.  They have made the turn west and are continuing installation of sewer main along Wood Avenue.  At completion of the work in Wood Avenue, the Contractor will move to install sewer in the north-south alley between Center Street and York Roads.  Weather permitting, RW Dunteman (subcontractor to Acqua) will begin replacement of removed concrete curbs, sidewalks, and aprons next week.  Republic Services will continue to pick up trash early on Wednesdays.  Residents need to continue to have their trash cans out prior to 6am to ensure pick-up.

Acqua Contractors has progressed west and is currently working in the roadway of Center Street.  The Contractor is lowering water services, sanitary services, and gas services in preparation for storm pipe installation heading north up Center Street towards Wood Avenue.  This work will continue next week, and then the Contractor will return to storm sewer installation in Center Street and in the north-south alley between Center Street and York Roads. Republic Services will continue to pick up trash early on Wednesday October 19th and 26th.  Residents need to have their trash cans out prior to 6am to ensure pick-up.

Acqua Contractors has been installing storm sewer pipe over the last week and has progressed across York Road. This week, storm sewer installation will work east to west in the alley between York Road and Center Street and north in the alley between Center Street and York Road up to Wood Avenue. Times o inaccessibility for driveways and garages in the alley should be expected, and notices have been delivered to house affected with this phase of the work.  Republic Service will pick up trash early on Wednesday October 5th and 12th. Residents need to have their trash cans out prior to 6am to ensure pick-up for the next 2 weeks. Work on this project is scheduled to take the remainder of this calendar year to complete.

Private utility relocation work has been completed.  Acqua Contractors will receive the require storm sewer materials early next week and will begin installation of the new storm sewer pipe in the alley south of Pine Avenue and east of York Road.  Work will progress from this alley west to York Road, then up York Road to the alley on the west side of York.  Work will take the remainder of this calendar year to complete.

Private utility relocation work continues into next week as utilities move out of the way for the installation of the new storm sewer.  The contractor is also continuing to wait on the delivery of concrete storm sewer pipe and manholes for the project, which is backed up due to the Local 150 strike earlier this summer.  It is anticipated that work on the storm sewer installation will begin in mid-September.

AT&T is finishing up the lower of a duct bank along York Road this week. The Contractor, Acqua, is waiting on delayed storm sewer pipe and sewer structures in order to begin the installation of the new sewers. We anticipate that it could take another 2 weeks for materials to be procured, and this is due to the strike earlier this Summer. This project is still on schedule to be completed by the end of this construction season, it is just progressing slower than anticipated.

08.05.2022
Acqua Contractors spent this week lowering watermain segments at locations where the large diameter storm sewer conflicts with the existing watermain.  One final conflict location, the intersection of Addison and Wood, is planned for early next week.  Also next week, in order for AT&T to lower a duct bank along York Road, traffic on southbound York will be shifted to the inside southbound lane on Monday. Affected residents will receive a door hanger indicating dates and times of water outages if there are water service interruptions required to perform this watermain work.

On Tuesday this past week, resolution was reached between the Chicago Area Aggregate Producers and IUOE Local 150. This strike has slowed progress on this project considerable due to the availability of stone required for underground utility work. The strike began back on June 7 and lasted 49 days.  Quarries in the area are diligently working on producing virgin stone from the ground.  Asphalt and concrete producers estimate a few weeks of time will be needed to get the stockpiles replenished all over the Chicagoland area. 

Acqua Contractors continues to work with private utility companies to relocate conflicts on the project in preparation for sewer installation. Com Ed has relocated a service line in the alley on the north side of Bridgeway. AT&T has also been coordinating with Acqua to lower a duct bank along York Road, and that work should begin soon. Next week, Acqua will begin lowering Village watermain segments at locations where the large diameter storm sewer crosses the existing watermain and is in conflict. Affected residents will receive a door hanger indicating dates and times of water outages if there are water service interruptions required to perform this work.

Acqua Contractors is working to source the required stone backfill for the utility work that needs to happen prior to the installation of the storm sewer. Due to the material strike, CA-7 (a ¾” stone without fines, used for pipe bedding) is hard to come by. Acqua also continues to work with private utility companies to relocate conflicts on the project in preparation for sewer installation.   

07.15.2022
Acqua Contractors has begun work on the Addison Creek Strom Sewer Project. The Contractor has set-up traffic control, which includes closure of the inside lanes of northbound and southbound York Road from Memorial Road to Wood Avenue. The Contractor spent this week pot-holing existing utilities to determine conflicts with the proposed storm sewer pipe. This underground exploration will continue next week for conflicts with the proposed sewer pipe.

Beginning Thursday July 7, York Road will be reduced to one lane in both the northbound and southbound directions from Wood Avenue to Memorial Road. These lane closures are required to accommodate construction of the Addison Creek Storm Sewer Improvements Project, the first phase of a multi-year storm sewer improvement aimed at helping reduce flooding upstream of the Redmond Reservoir. During working hours, flaggers may also be present to help direct traffic around equipment and workers. It is anticipated that this lane reduction will be in place for approximately 4 weeks, and delays should be expected in the vicinity of the lane closure. Lane Reduction Map
