Lockport Wraps Up Several Year-End Projects

LOCKPORT, IL — The City of Lockport gave an updating from its Public Works and Engineering as year-end projects wrapped up last month.

The City said its 2022 resurfacing project finished, with resurfacing complete on Farrell Road from Oak Avenue to 151st and 151st Street from Farrell to Gougar Road.

The Third Street and Hamilton Street water main and roadway reconstruction project was also completed, according to the city. Deteriorating water main, storm sewer, sidewalk, road and curb on Hamilton Street as well as on Third Street were replaced.

Lastly, the Kelvin Grove rear yard water main project finished. This project included the abandonment of old water mains in rear yards of homes, with new ones installed in the front. The rear yard water mains' proximity to fences, sheds and landscaping made maintenance very costly, and it was an inconvenience to residents, according to the city.

Over 2,600 feet of new water main and 134 new residential water services were installed, the City said. As part of the restoration, 55 new trees were also planted throughout the subdivision.
