Work has begun on Northmoor Road between Sheridan and University. Last fall utility
relocation work began, and the fence on the south side was replaced with a temporary fence. A decorative concrete fence/retaining wall was selected for the south side, and it has been the contractor’s intention to install this next. Some work has begun but problems have arisen with the manufacture of the wall panels. The staff, consulting engineer, IDOT, and the general contractor are working with the wall manufacturer to assure that the wall is being built in compliance with the thickness specifications. Hopefully, these problems will be worked out in the near future, but for the time being much of the project is on hold. The contractor will begin work on widening the road on the north side as this is independent of the wall construction on the south.
