The Village has obtained federal aid through the South Suburban Mayor and Managers Association (SSMMA) for roadway improvements along 154th Street between South Park Ave / Dr. MLK Drive and Dante Avenue. 

The project scope consists of pavement resurfacing with hot-mix asphalt, pavement patching, driveway removal and replacement, combination curb and gutter removal and replacement, sidewalk removal and replacement, ADA ramp improvements, drainage and utility structure adjustments/reconstruction, restoration, pavement markings, signage, traffic signal detector loop replacement and all incidental and collateral work necessary to complete the project. 

The contractor will require travel lanes be closed at times to facilitate the required improvements. At least 1 travel lane in each direction shall be maintained throughout the project duration. 

Some of the driveways within the project limit will be removed and replaced as part of the improvements.  There will be short durations when access to driveways will be impeded while work is being completed. Temporary access to properties will be provided via temporary stone at the close of each working day.  The contractor will provide residents with further notice of the work through door hanger placards, which will be posted prior to work on any driveway. Door hangers will provide further information on timing for anticipated driveway replacements. 

The project is scheduled for a June 2024 letting, with construction beginning in July 2024, and continuing through the summer with substantial complete anticipated in November 2024.
