Final Stretch!!!

With two weeks to go we are just about done on Locust for the winter and we have made great progress. We have already met the contract requirements of getting Locust to binder course and great news...we will be putting in the final course of Locust as well! Mark you calendars...Locust will reopen entirely to two-way traffic with tree's, light poles installed, sidewalk and bricks all in as of November 19.

Needless to say, things will be really really busy the next 2 weeks, but we are grateful that the weather has held and we have been able to finis more work than we had anticipated before the start of winter.

Here is what to expect for the next week or so:

Base course and Electric
We will be finishing the base course and electric work through the end of this week.

Sidewalk/Underlayment

We will be installing sidewalk and underlayment for the next week starting from 1st heading towards 4th.

Roadway prep/manhole/grinding - starting Thursday of this week thru next Monday.

Final Course
Currans will be putting the final course of the road on Tuesday of next week. There may be minimal disruption to entrances and drives (around 15 minutes) as the asphalt truck and roller move by. This is GREAT news. We will install temporary lane makers and stop lines until spring.

Tree's and Bushes
Landscaper will start installing tree's and bushes on Monday of next week.

Alley paving
Curran's will pave alley's following the paving of Locust on Wed, Thur or Friday of next week.

Bricks
Bricks will be installed starting on Wednesday of next week. Brick layers will be here for about a week.

As always, if you have any questions please contact Joel Mauer at the City of DeKalb at 815-748-2000 or Jennifer Groce at Re:New DeKalb at 815-748-7788
