Clavey Road Construction Updates
Welcome to to the Clavey Road Construction Update Page. This website will be updated periodically through the construction to keep all informed.
Update, August 31, 2023: Construction is substantially complete! All new pavement is in place, and final pavement markings clearly delineate travel and turn lanes throughout the project limits. The roadway is open to the public. The new multi-use path located along the south side of Clavey is also complete and open to the public.
Installation of the new traffic signal at the Clavey/Green Bay intersection is complete. The City is working with ComEd to provide electrical service to energize the new signal. Removal of the temporary signal will follow after the new signal is activated.
Parkway restoration with topsoil is in place at approximately 90% of disturbed areas. Per the IDOT specifications, sod cannot be placed until after August. This ensures sod is not placed during hot, dry weather. The current schedule shows placement of remaining topsoil by the end of August, sod in mid-September, and seeding with erosion control blanket in mid-October.
The contractor will plant of 99 new trees of various species within the project limits. The trees are scheduled for planting in the spring of 2024. Planting trees this fall is not recommended as the new trees will have to survive the cold winter months. Planting in the spring should increase the survival rate of the new trees. Any trees that do not survive will be removed and replaced, under warranty, by the contractor.
Minor punch list and cleanup will continue. Some punch list items include installation of decorative lighting on the bridge over the Skokie River and signage.
The City appreciates the public’s patience as we worked diligently to bring this project to completion as quickly as possible.
