Undergroun Utility Construction Nearing End. Roadway Reconstruction to Begin

Work Completed Last Week:
·         Continued with storm sewer installation along Glenridge Drive and Glenayre Drive
·         Continued with storm sewer service installations along Glenridge Drive and Glenayre Drive.

Work Anticipated This Week:
·         Complete installation of storm sewer and storm sewer services.
·         Staking / layout for roadway reconstruction
·         Site clean-up prior to transitioning to roadway reconstruction phase.
·         Roadway excavation and aggregate base course installation along Glenridge Drive and Glen Court.

The majority of the underground utility improvements (water main, storm sewer, sanitary sewer) will be completed by the end of this week or early next week. The project will then be transitioning into the roadway reconstruction phase.

Exact dates are unknown, but the contractor is anticipating to begin roadway excavation and installation of aggregate base course later this week along Glenridge Drive and Glen Court. We are anticipating the concrete curb & gutter and 1st layer of asphalt pavement will be installed along Glenridge Drive and Glen Court prior to the Labor Day weekend. During the concrete curb & gutter and asphalt paving, residents will be restricted from utilizing their driveways. We will keep you notified regarding exact dates that driveway access will be restricted.

The roadway reconstruction along Glenayre Drive is anticipated to begin following the Labor Day weekend.

The coming weeks will have significant inconveniences to all residents along Glenridge Drive, Glen Court, and Glenayre Drive due to access to driveways being restricted for an extended period of time. Please be assured, we will do everything possible to ensure access to your driveways is restricted for the least amount of time possible. We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

Water Service Replacement Continues

Work Completed Last Week:
·         Installed storm sewer along Glenayre Drive from Central Road to Glenridge Drive
·         Started installation of storm sewer services along Glenayre Drive.
·         Started water service replacements along Glenridge Drive
·         Connected new water main to existing water main at intersection of Central Road and Glenayre Drive.

Work Anticipated This Week:
·         Complete water service replacements along Glenridge Drive
·         Water service replacements along Glen Court
·         Connect existing water main to newly installed water main at the intersection of Glenridge Drive and Central Road
·         Begin storm sewer installation along Glenridge Drive

New water services are being installed from the new water main to the existing b-box within the Village right-of-way. New services will not be installed all the way to your home. During water service installation, water to individual homes will be turned off while the transition is made. Typically the water is turned off for 1-hour. The contractor will knock on the door of each home prior to turning off the water. It is difficult to determine the exact timing of the water shut-off; therefore, 24-hour notice is not given. The contractor will work with you to determine the best time to shut-off the water to the greatest extent possible.

Water service replacement along Glen Court are scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, July 21st and 22nd, this week. Due to construction activity within the cul-de-sac, we are requesting residents park their vehicles along Glenridge Drive during normal working hours (7 AM to 5 PM). Thank you in advance for all your patience during this time.


Thank you to all those residents that were without water for a period of time on Friday during the connection between the existing and newly installed water mains at the intersection of Glenayre Drive and Central Road. Another water main shut down for the connection at Glenridge Drive and Central Road is scheduled for this week. Residents will be notified 24 hours in advance of any water main shut down.

If you have not been contacted yet, please request to speak with Jeff Yonke on-site. If you cannot find Jeff Yonke onsite, please contact Russ Jensen at 847-904-4418 or rjensen@glenview.il.us to schedule a time to meet.
