Walkup Road Construction Expected to Resume in April

Winter weather has suspended construction work on Walkup Road in Crystal Lake.

Work is expected to resume when weather conditions permit, possibly sometime in mid-April, said Deborah Finn, vice-president of marketing for Baxter & Woodman.

In a Walkup Road progress updated, Finn outlined the construction activities that will occur when work resumes:

• Between Crystal Ridge Drive and Talismon Drive: Existing pavement will be removed, curb and gutter will be installed, and asphalt base will be placed.
• The northwest corner of Route 176 and Walkup Road: Final grading for the multi-use path and for the sidewalk will begin.
• North and south sections: the final asphalt placement will take place followed by permanent pavement markings.
• Route 176 and Walkup Road – traffic signal installation and activation.
• Mason Hill Road and Crystal Lake Road – traffic signal installation and activation.

Finn said Baxter & Woodman expected the project to be completed by the end of June, 2013.
