These Elmhurst Road Projects In Works

ELMHURST, IL – The Elmhurst City Council was informed Monday about the bigger road and bridge projects over the next few years.

The largest next year is the replacement of the Park Avenue bridge deck over Robert Palmer Drive downtown. That is expected to cost $930,000.

"We need to do this to maintain the infrastructure underneath because, as you can imagine, the more time you wait when repairs are necessary, the more expensive it gets to repair in the future," City Manager Jim Grabowski told the council.

The project is expected to be similar to last year's bridge replacement of First Street over Robert Palmer.

Here are other projects on the schedule:

• 2025: Butterfield Road and York Street intersection, $1.7 million
• 2025: Villa Avenue resurfacing (working with Villa Park), $892,000
• 2025: Route 83 pedestrian bridge, $2.9 million.
• 2026: Northwest Elmhurst road reconstruction, $2.2 million. Last year, the city said this project would include Junior Terrace, Sunrise Road, Mary Court, North Oaklawn Avenue and Belden Avenue (west to Oaklawn).
• 2026: Alma Avenue reconstruction, $700,000
• 2027: Cayuga Avenue reconstruction, $1.7 million
