Construction Update - 10/8/24

Cooperative weather has allowed our construction crews to make steady progress on Downtown Plaza construction. Last week, the contractor poured walls for landscape planters near the south end of the site. They also poured the first section of sidewalk (picture below).

The Neil Street lane closure allowed the contractor to pour new curbs at the two Neil Street ramp locations. The ramps are scheduled to be built this week. The contractor will continue forming and pouring walls for landscape beds and pouring more sidewalk along the Big Grove Tavern dining area.

Water main materials should arrive this week, allowing Illinois American Water (ILAW) to begin the water main replacement. Any service interruptions will be coordinated/scheduled with individual property owners by ILAW or their contractor. If you have specific questions related to water main work and service interruptions, please contact the project manager for ILAW on this project, Eric LaReau (Eric.LaReau@amwater.com).
