ATC Transmission Line Update
Below is the latest on the American Transmission Co.’s transmission line project. PLEASE read these communications thoroughly as we are doing our best to communicate the latest traffic restrictions, parking issues, and access restrictions to you in a timely manner.
E. CHICAGO ST. (400 and 600 blocks)
These two blocks are open for now but will be closed in the westbound lane soon for the HDD excavation in the 400 block and stringing of 8′ steel pipe in the 600 block. Eastbound traffic will be allowed while work is ongoing in these areas.
This area will be the main area of work from mid-January through the end of February. During this phase of work, there will be a two day closure of Jefferson and Jackson St. when the transmission pipe is ready for pulling into the HDD excavation site.
We are working with the construction team on adequate notice for when they are ready for that maneuver and for detour information around the site. Stay tuned.
We Energies: SW Corner of Erie and Young St. (MIAD Corner)
We Energies will be working in this area for several days starting Thursday, December 26. Traffic in both directions will be allowed but there will be some parking meters hooded near the work area to allow for two way traffic flow.
