(From Public Works) Project Overview - As part of the reconstruction of Harnish Drive from Randall Road to Hanson Road, the Village will repair and resurface roadways, as well as improve drainage, patch driveway and curbs and address ADA improvements such as striping of pedestrian crosswalks. The project includes improvements to Harnish Drive, Chatham Circle, Flora Drive, Sutcliff Court, Sandpiper Court and Fairfield Lane. https://www.harnishdriveconstruction.org/
Recently, the Village of Algonquin hired Arrow Road Construction to construct the Harnish Drive Roadway Rehab project. This project includes improvements to Harnish Drive, Chatham Circle, Flora Drive, Sutcliff Court, Sandpiper Court and Fairfield Lane. Improvements consist of the removal of the existing asphalt roadway, stabilization of the underlying base, misc. removal and replacement of curb and gutter, misc. removal and replacement of sidewalk, ADA crosswalk updates, minor spot repairs of sanitary sewer, upgrades to existing curb inlets, new storm sewer and storm structures, new asphalt pavement installation, new pavement markings and signage, plantings, and restoration.
The project is currently scheduled to begin the week of July 12, 2021, weather permitting, and is expected to be completed by October 1, 2021. This project is fully funded by the Capital Improvement project of the Village of Algonquin.
While the contractor works to minimize any inconveniences, there will be challenges with dirt, dust and noise. Temporary road closures may occur at various times; however, access to businesses and residences will be maintained throughout construction. Should an improvement directly impact access to a business or residence, residents will be notified at least twelve (12) hours prior to access removal by virtue of a door hanger. The contractor will also knock on their door prior to the access removal. The door hanger will notify residents of the length of the inaccessibility to your driveway.
The Village requests that all inquiries and or comments be made to the Public Works Department. Direct contact with the contractor is not recommended due to site safety concerns. All inquiries and concerns should be addressed to Brett Bennett, Project Engineer, by emailing bbennett@spacecoinc.com. Residents are also encouraged to download and utilize the “ Algonquin Fix It” (aka See Click Fix) phone application.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation during this important public improvement. With your patience and understanding, the Village will efficiently and effectively manage this project and provide an improved asset to your neighborhood.
