Old Lemont Road Bridge Improvements Approved By Village Board

LEMONT, IL — Repair and remediation work on the Old Lemont Road bridge was approved at Monday's Lemont Village Board meeting.

The Board awarded a contract for improvements to the Old Lemont Road bridge.

Village Administrator George Schafer said three bids were received for the project, $102,842 was the low bid, from Austin Tyler Construction.

"It should be a pretty simple project," Schafer said. "It's not a very complex contract. [There] shouldn't be any shut-down, and should move forward pretty quickly by the end of the year."

According to Board documents, the project includes removal, cleaning and replacement of the neoprene expansion joints; sealing the bridge deck surface; reattaching an existing traffic barrier; cleaning approach drains; and removal of debris from waterway openings.
