What is going on with the Diamond Lake Road Project?

The concrete contractor is continuing to install the foundations. The south foundation was completed on Oct. 9 (first picture). Last week,they had to divert the creek a second time and excavate for the north foundation. Framing, placing reinforcement bars and pouring concrete for the north foundation will take place this week (second picture). The north foundation should be completely poured by Friday or Saturday (weather permitting).

Once that is in place and up to strength, they will be setting the precast concrete sections on the foundations with a crane, then backfilling the area in preparation for replacing the pavement. Once the road is reopened to traffic, they will finish the items can be done under traffic like installing the guardrail and landscaping.

If you have used towels, sheets or blankets that need to be recycled, please consider bringing them to Fremont Township at 22385 Rt 60, Mundelein to be donated to local Animal Shelters and Rescues. Please drop them in the bin on the front porch. This keeps them out of the landfill and puts them to good use.
