Chestnut Bridge Construction Resumes Monday

GLENVIEW, IL — Construction will begin on the north side of Chestnut Bridge Monday, Feb. 27, and the Village of Glenview has warned drivers to expect delays.

From Monday until the bridge is completed, temporary traffic signals will be used at the Chestnut Avenue Bridge over the West Fork of the North Branch of the Chicago River (west of Waukegan Road), according to the village.

Once the temporary signal is in use, traffic will use one lane of Chestnut over the bridge, similar to last year's construction, the official blog of the project said.

The village asked residents to consider taking an alternative route Monday, saying it expects delays. It asked drivers to proceed carefully throughout the project, as construction vehicles and workers will be present.
