Removal of the Prairie Trail pedestrian bridge over La Fox River Drive was completed this week. Crews also installed the first manhole at the intersection of La Fox River Drive and Center Street.
Next week, installation of the de-watering wells will continue along La Fox River Drive. Crews will also continue to make progress on the installation of the 30" sanitary sewer along La Fox River Drive, north of Center Street. Crews hope to advance sewer installation all the way to about Division Street by the end of the week. This work may cause restricted access, but residents will be notified ahead of time of any restrictions.
Access Information:
Please note that during the first phase of sanitary sewer installation, La Fox River Drive will be closed between Route 31 and Washington Street. The immediate area along La Fox River Drive where the contractor is working will be impassable, residents may be required to access their properties from either Washington Street or Route 31 depending on where the construction is at. Access within the work zone is limited to those residents within the work zone, please use caution while navigating the work zone as some areas may be restricted to one lane. All other traffic should follow the posted detours.
During construction, residents may have restricted access to their property as work progresses past their driveways. Residents will be notified the day before of any access restrictions, either in person or via a door hanger if no one is home. During non-working hours residents will have full access to their properties.
As Division Street, east of La Fox River Drive is a dead end, residents will have limited access while the sanitary sewer is being installed through the intersection of La Fox River Drive and Division Street. These residents will be notified in advance of this restriction which is anticipated to be in place for the next week or two.

Detour:
Traffic will be routed along Route 31 to Main Street and then back to Washington Street and La Fox River Drive.
We ask that drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists use caution due to the level of construction equipment along La Fox River Drive.
This project is expected to take 10 months to complete. We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we invest in this important infrastructure project to improve the community.
