The Village will be reconstructing the roadway of 1

The BIKE LANE is also closed, and bicycle traffic should utilize the downtown loop of the Interurban Trail instead. The contractor began work in June with excavation for the bio-swales in the grass median. The bio-swales will help filter out contaminants in storm water before the water further enters the storm system piping. Work this week continues with old stone base removals, preparing the roadbed and placement of new base materials.
