2008 Road Construction

Village of Burr Ridge Road Program

Project Update: October 3, 2008

This year’s Road Program is nearly complete.  Despite a few weather-related delays, our work has remained on schedule and under budget and this will be the last update for the year.

In the coming week staff is optimistic that all work will be completed, weather permitting including pavement striping on Madison Street, South Frontage Road and Burr Ridge Parkway.  On Longwood Drive, any remaining cracks will be filled with asphalt sealant.  These pavement cuts help the roadway surface to expand and contract during extreme temperature changes.  Seeding on 63^rd and 74^th Streets was completed.  Any other parkways that were disturbed by the Village’s Road Program will be covered with topsoil and sod.  Newly seeded and sodded areas are watered periodically by our contractor to help establish the grass.
