Lake Drive Detour Extended Another Week

Rainy weather has caused delays on the Lake Drive construction project, which means the detour down Barlett Avenue will be extended another week until April 19.

In addition to extending the detour, the village is also creating a temporary four-way stop sign at Chateau and Newhall Avenue because motorists are short-cutting the detour.

Although the detour is expected to end April 19, it will need to be re-opened in the future because the contractor will need access to the corner of Bartlett and Lake Drive.

The Lake Drive water main replacement project will continue through June 28. The $1.2 million project will replace two 99-year-old, six-inch water mains with one 12-inch water main. It is the third and final phase of the Lake Drive water main replacement project.
