Big Western Springs Project Starts Next Week

WESTERN SPRINGS, IL – The second phase of Burlington Avenue improvements in Western Springs is set to start Monday.

The work entails resurfacing four blocks of Burlington from Central Avenue and Wolf Road, according to a village statement.

The project will also include the removal and replacement of select curbs, sidewalks and driveway aprons along the south side of the street, the village said.

The sidewalk is set to be closed for reconstruction to meet updated Americans With Disabilities Act standards at the south corners of Woodland Avenue and the southwest corner of Grand Avenue.

The village said lane restrictions will be in place to accommodate construction equipment and ensure access to businesses. Officials don't expect long-term road closures to complete the work.

"The roadway resurfacing work is far less intrusive than the water main work that was completed last fall," the village said in the statement.

More information on the project is available on the village's website.
