Update - February 3, 2021: City was notified by IDOT on accepting the bid for Clavey Rd Improvements Phase One Construction project. The project limits are from US Route 41 to Green Bay Road.  Due to federal funding constraints the construction of the project will be completed in two separate contracts, Two-Phase Construction staging project. Major items of work completed in Phase One Construction staging project include complete removal and replacement of the bridge that carries Clavey Road over the Skokie River, construction of new water main and construction of temporary pavement to be used to maintain two-way traffic in future construction operations. Major items of work in Phase Two Construction staging project include reconstruction of new asphalt pavement, new upsized storm sewers, installation of new 8-ft wide bike path, traffic signal upgrades, and pedestrian safety enhancements. Upon completion of both these contracts, a separate landscape contract will be bid to complete the Clavey Rd corridor landscape beautification plan.

The Phase One Construction infrastructure work is scheduled to begin in April. Prior to roadway work, Commonwealth Edison (ComEd) is scheduled to begin work to relocate their utility poles. The ComEd work will entail tree and landscape/brush removal, on the north side of Clavey Rd, to make room to install new relocated poles. Weather permitting, the ComEd tree removal work is scheduled to begin on February 4^th.
