GREEN BAY ROAD ENHANCEMENT PROJECT TO RUN JUNE THROUGH OCTOBER IN HIGHWOOD

The City of Highwood has announced that the reconstruction and improvement of Green Bay Road will begin in June of 2012, to be completed by October 2012. The area of work stretches between Highwood Avenue to Washington Avenue. The City has retained Baxter & Woodman, Inc. to engineer and construct the project, as well as the contractor, Landmark Construction. 

The Green Bay Road Project will feature improvements of water main work and water system upgrades, storm sewer replacement, removal and replacement of curbs and gutters (designed to match previously reconstructed area sidewalks that feature decorative brick pavers), pavement resurfacing, and a new three-way stop installation at North Avenue and Green Bay Road. This new intersection will improve pedestrian safety.

The project also includes reconstruction of Funston Avenue, between North Avenue and Burchell Avenue. The work here includes water main replacement, storm sewer replacement and new curb and gutter installation.

Residents and business owners will be updated periodically as the work progresses. While the contractor performs water service work and storm sewer replacement, sections of the street may be inaccessible for short durations of the day, but the road will be open otherwise. The City will notify residents and businesses in advance if they need to shut water off.
