Monaville Road is Now Open!
Monaville Road between Fairfield Road and Cedar Lake Road is now open! The road has been closed due to a failed culvert.
On April 13, the Lake County Division of Transportation closed Monaville Road at Eagle Creek after a 9-foot diameter metal culvert was found to be failing. The culvert was installed in 1988 and had been scheduled for replacement later in 2022.
After the closure, LCDOT immediately began researching the fastest and most effective way to acquire the materials, finalize design plans, secure permits, and stage necessary construction activities. Typically, the fabrication would take a number of months to complete, but through the assistance of LCDOT's contractor being able to acquire the needed materials in an expedited fashion, LCDOT was able to accelerate the work and avoid a temporary replacement measure.
We thank everyone for their patience while the road was closed. We also thank the contractor that worked in the rain and on weekends to keep the project moving forward.
We ask motorists to watch for workers while driving in this area in the coming weeks as paving of the final layer of asphalt, minor grading, guardrail installation and landscaping occurs.
