Wadsworth Rd at Green Bay Rd Reconstruction and Widening
This work consists of asphalt reconstruction and widening of the intersection. The improved intersection will have two through lanes with right and left turn lanes on Green Bay Rd in each direction, and two through lanes with left turn lanes on Wadsworth Rd in each direction with a modernized traffic signal. The intersection of Wadsworth Rd and Cambridge Dr will also be reconstructed with a permanent traffic signal installed. Work is scheduled to begin in spring of 2013 and is expected to last through the end of 2014.
A project-specific website will be launched as we near the start of construction. A public informational open house will also be held this spring, date and location to be announced soon.

Resurfacing from east of Chicago Av to west of Delany Rd  

The project began in mid-2012, and roadwork is planned to resume this month, weather permitting. Anticipated completion is September 2013.


One lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction during construction, and occasional daytime lane closures may be necessary using alternating one lane traffic and flaggers. Watch for workers and equipment during construction.

 

At some point this spring, a Wadsworth Rd detour will be necessary for about three weeks to install a widened railroad crossing with added pedestrian gates on the south side. Notification of exact dates will be provided in advance of the scheduled closure.
