Park Forest residents reminded to plan accordingly.
Park Forest, IL—(ENEWSPF)—May 13, 2012. Stage 2 of the Orchard Drive Construction Project in Park Forest will begin on Monday, May 14.
During the Stage 2 construction phase, Orchard Drive will become a northbound one-way street from Lakewood to Route 30.
Southbound traffic will be detoured to Western Avenue south, going west on Main Street, turning north on Forest Boulevard, and ending west to Lakewood Boulevard. There will be detour signs indicating where to turn along the detour route.
The intersections of Indianwood Boulevard at Orchard Drive and Main Street at Orchard Drive will also be resurfaced including new curb and gutter and sidewalk. Since this work is south of the detour, traffic in both directions will be maintained with daytime lane closures.
For those residents living along Orchard Drive, access to your property will be maintained except when curb and gutter, sidewalk, and driveway work is being constructed adjacent to your property. The Village’s contractor has been instructed to notify residents if access to their property will be disrupted.
Parking on any of the side streets is encouraged, however all Village ordinances regarding parking on one side of the street and overnight parking will still be enforced.
Residents with questions about the project can call Village Hall at 708-748-1112.
