Now that the binder level of asphalt is complete, there are several things that need to be done before surface can be placed. Some things have all ready begun; as many drivers may have noticed, the frames of the structures have been broken out, meaning the binder asphalt was opened up so that the frame of the structure can be placed at the correct elevation. The parkway restoration has begun, starting with the clearing and smoothing out of the areas that will get restored, and then placing topsoil. The sod will not be placed until AFTER the surface asphalt has been installed.

The paving subcontractor is onsite this afternoon to pave the remaining portion of West Ridgewood. They will be back on Monday to complete the binder. Landscape restoration will resume after the binder is placed, and sod will be placed sometime in September.

On Friday, August 7, DiMeo will begin grading the remaining roads, West Ridgewood (north of Pleasant Lane), Linden Lane and Glen Oak Drive, in preparation for paving. The schedule is to place the binder lift (bottom layer) of asphalt on those roads late next week. We ask residents to please plan accordingly when coming and going on any day paving is taking place; they may need to wait a few minutes or find a different route.

After the contractor has completed paving the first layer of asphalt on all streets, work will begin to remove all of the debris from the site, grade the parkways and place topsoil, in preparation for sod. The sod work will not begin until September, when temperatures are cool enough to ensure that the sod does not die in the heat of the day.

Asphalt pavement on East Ridgewood, Pleasant and West Ridgewood (south of Pleasant) will be completed as of this morning! The remaining binder will be done at one time, and this will commence once the underground work is done, the pavement is removed, and the roadway is prepped. This is scheduled to happen within the next few weeks.

Underground utility work is nearing completion. All work that remains is located on the north half of Glen Oak. This includes water services and sanitary manholes. This work should be completed by the end of next week, weather permitting.

Storm sewer installation continues on West Ridgewood north of Glen Oak, Glen Oak and Linden.

DiMeo is presently grading the road in preparation for asphalt paving. The asphalt paving subcontractor, Arrow Road Construction, will be onsite in the next few days to complete the prep work for the roadway on East Ridgewood, Pleasant, and West Ridgewood (south of Pleasant only) for paving with asphalt. The schedule is to place the binder lift (bottom layer) of asphalt on those roads sometime in the next week. Please plan accordingly when coming and going on any day paving is taking place; residents may need to wait a few minutes or find a different route. Thanks for understanding!

All water main work is now complete and storm sewer installation has been completed on Pleasant and East Ridgewood; the remaining storm sewer work is currently underway. As the storm sewer work is being done, pavement removal is following behind. Storm sewer installation should take approximately 2 more weeks, weather permitting.

Nicor Gas was on site to relocate the gas main on West Ridgewood this week to make way for the new storm sewer. Their work is now complete and they have moved off site.

Storm Sewer Installation

DiMeo Bros. Construction has successfully completed all water main installation onsite. Though a few water services do remain to be completed, as well as two final connections to existing water main, work on water main is largely complete. Storm sewer installation has resumed starting at the intersection of Pleasant Lane and East Ridgewood Lane. Construction of storm sewer and drainage structures will continue for the next several weeks. As DiMeo Bros. Construction works down the street they will be removing asphalt pavement as they go. Due to the nature of the work being completed, road closures are necessary and will be posted as such.
