Project should resume in the next 30 days and be completed by July.
The Palatine Road construction project will resume next month, but probably not as early as hoped, officials and engineers said Wednesday evening during an open house to discuss the project. Previously, village officials said work might start as soon as April 1, but that is no longer likely. “Right now, the weather’s not cooperating too well,” said Robert R. Rollings, director of construction engineering for Bollinger, Lach & Associates Inc., the civil engineering firm the village is using to oversee the project. He said construction should resume within the next 30 days. Village staff and representatives of Bollinger, Lach & Associates were on hand Wednesday in the council chambers at Palatine Village Hall to answer questions and hear …

The Palatine Road construction project is expected to resume April 1. Village officials are hosting an open house March 23 to answer questions about the project.
The Palatine Road construction project could resume as early as April 1 with traffic again being reduced to one lane on the downtown thoroughfare. Village officials are hosting an open house Wednesday, March 23 in anticipation of the project continuing. The open house will be from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Village Hall, 200 E. Wood St. and will give residents a chance to ask detailed questions about the project. Last year Palatine Road was closed to one lane from Route 14 to Plum Grove Road and only open east bound for several months. Palatine Director of Public Works Matt Barry said this year Palatine Road will be reduced to one lane in the same area, but the road will be open west bound. "That certainly will be the most noticeable change," …

The Palatine Road construction project which shutdown for the winter is expected to be completed by June.
The Palatine Road construction project is set to resume in April and should be completed by June 30. The project fell behind last year because of the Laborers and Operating Engineer's strike which stopped work in 2010 from June 30 to July 23. The project also encountered numerous issues with utility lines. The Village Council voted to halt the project on Oct. 26, fearing they would not be able to finish much of it before colder temperatures arrived. Rather the village worked to get Palatine Road and the downtown area in a more functional state for the winter, such as getting two-way traffic open on Palatine Road east of the railroad tracks by Nov. 30. At Monday's Village Council meeting, Palatine Public Works Director Matt Barry laid out …

Although village officials were hopeful that the road widening would be completed, it now appears some road work will extend into 2011.
The Palatine Road construction project likely will not be completed this year, however city officials say the downtown area will not be left in a state of disrepair. The Village Council will have a special meeting Monday at 6 p.m. to consider a recommendation to shelve part of the project until the spring. Assistant Village Engineer Matt Barry said the plan the council will consider Monday would be to have Palatine Road open to traffic in both directions and to have most, if not all, traffic barricades down. "We've got more work in the spring," Barry said. "We hoped to have all of the hard surface work done before winter. It didn't work out that way." For residents, Palatine Road this winter might seem much the way it did before the summer…

Illinois Department of Transportation will pay so workers can work extra to get all lanes open by Thanksgiving.
The Palatine Road construction project has become a race against time. As cold weather looms, village officials are hopeful that all lanes of traffic in both directions will be open by Thanksgiving. But a streak of bad weather could make that goal impossible. "Do you lose sleep about it?" Village Manager Reid Ottesen asked rhetorically after Monday's Village Council meeting. "Absolutely." Nearly a month of construction time was lost between June 30 and July 23 because of a strike by the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150 and Laborers' District Council of Chicago and Vicinity. In an attempt to make up for lost time, workers will work 10 hour days and put in full days on Saturday. The added cost of the extra time is being …

Palatine Road construction progresses, aims to decrease crashes.
The road construction in downtown Palatine is progressing and all new lanes of traffic are expected to be open by Thanksgiving. Palatine Road is being widened and reconstructed from Smith Road to Kerwood Street as part of the $9.5 million project. Plum Grove Road also is being widened and rebuilt between Washington and Slade Streets. Most of the project, about $7.7 million, is federally funded. Although the new lanes of traffic are expected to be open by Thanksgiving, some aspects of the project–final traffic signals, decorative lighting, and final landscaping–likely will not be completed until 2011, said Matt Berry, assistant village engineer. One complication for the project was the strike in July by the International Union of Operating …

We saw the aftermath and I have been sick ever since. Just two weeks ago our neighbor was in a terrible accident on Euclid and Quentin and he did not survive either. I am so scared when I see these kids texting and on the cell phones. Please be safe eveyone and keep your eyes open and stay focused. more ›
