Fall Construction Continues In Lockport

LOCKPORT, IL — As autumn continues, the City of Lockport gave an update on its Facebook page on all of the construction and projects happening around the city.

The City said that the 2022 resurfacing project resumed Wednesday on 151st Street from Farrell Road to Gougar Road. On eastbound 159th Street at Farrell, the right-turn lane was changed to be a straight-through lane or right-turn lane to help with traffic back-up.

The City's Street Department is also working to replace streetlights with LED bulbs throughout Lockport. LED bulbs are more environmentally friendly than standard streetlight bulbs since they require less energy and produce less light pollution, according to the City.

Asphalt work will begin next week on the Bruce Road bridge, and hydrant flushing will continue through the end of the month, according to the City.

The 2022 Stormwater Program began Thursday, and that project includes grading and shaping ditches, inlet installation, and storm sewer installation along both sides of Gougar Road between Bruce Road and Division Street. It also includes grading and shaping ditches along Bruce Road west of Gougar Road.

ComEd is also replacing poles and lines along Division Street from Gougar Road to Farrell Road and along Farrell to Bruce Road, the City said on its Facebook.
