MWRD PROJECT TO BEGIN MONDAY, JUNE 23 EXPECT TRAFFIC DELAYS

Kenny Construction Company has been contracted by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation
District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC) to add an access manhole on to a junction chamber
below 1st Ave. The junction chamber serves large sections of the MWRD sanitary interceptor
sewer within the Villages of Brookfield and Riverside. These interceptors receive sanitary
sewage flows from the sanitary sewer systems of both municipalities. This project will allow
access to the junction chamber.
The project will involve heavy traffic control and will adversely impact traffic patterns. The new
manhole location will be located just north of the corner of the 1st Ave. and Forest Ave. on the
northbound side of the intersection. The two northbound lanes on 1st Ave. will be diverted to one
southbound thru lane, a right turn lane and a left turn lane. The south bound traffic will be
reduced to one thru lane and one left turn lane. The work will require relocating several
underground utilities before construction of the access manhole can be started. We do not
anticipate there will be any impact or restrictions on water/sewer usage.
HOURS OF OPERATION
Typical work hours will be 7AM to 5PM, Monday through Friday. Saturdays are optional. Due
to the timeframe of the project the Village of Riverside has granted permission to work round the
clock as needed.
NOISE DURING OVERNIGHT WORK
The municipalities have restrictive construction noise ordinances during non-working hours.
However, due to the local and regional importance of this project, special permission was
granted provided that reasonable accommodations are taken to limit the noise disruption. We are
requesting your patience and cooperation to complete this very important project.
