East State Street Traffic Impacted On NYE By Utility Work

GENEVA, IL — A section of East State Street in Geneva is impacted on New Year's Eve due to a utility company relocating underground infrastructure.

AT&T is lowering a fiber crossing at State and Garfield streets, just east of the Fox River. As a result, State Street is down to one lane in each direction while Garfield Street is closed at the intersection.

The contractor anticipates completing the project, and if time permits, backfill, pour concrete and place steel plates at the crossing on all four lanes, according to a news release. The steel plates, which will be pinned to the surface, are tentatively scheduled for removal Friday.

If crews cannot complete the project or restore concrete Wednesday, the start date will shift to Friday, pushing the steel plate removal to Jan. 5, officials said.

AT&T's work is in anticipation of the multi-year rebuilding of East State Street from Glengarry Drive to the Fox River.
