Milwaukee Avenue bridge repairs in Glenview begin Sept. 2

CHICAGO – The Illinois Department of Transportation announced today that repairs to the bridge carrying Milwaukee Avenue (Illinois 21) over the Union Pacific Railroad, in Glenview, will require daytime lane closures beginning, weather permitting, Tuesday, Sept. 2.

The project, which consists of repairing the approaches, joint sealers and deteriorated concrete curbs, is anticipated to be completed in September.

The public can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area. Alternative routes are encouraged. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to flaggers and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits and be on the alert for workers and equipment.

Over the next six years, IDOT is planning to improve more than 3,200 miles of highway and nearly 9 million square feet of bridge deck as part of Rebuild Illinois, which is investing $33.2 billion into all modes of transportation. Accomplishments through Year Six of Rebuild Illinois include almost $20.8 billion of improvements statewide on 7,897 miles of highway, 815 bridges and 1,181 additional safety improvements.
