Eastern Avenue was closed at the railroad tracks to all vehicular traffic on August 9 for the installation of a new water main under the tracks. The work will take approximately two weeks depending on field conditions.
The existing detour for Eastern Avenue will remain in place until all work is completed. Once completed, water main installation will begin at the Lockport Street railroad tracks, with Lockport Street anticipated to be closed at the tracks for the duration of this work.

Construction of the Old Town Phase 2 improvements is scheduled to begin in late August. Water main, storm, and sanitary utility work will take place on Bartlett Avenue, Center Street, Amboy Street, and Evans. The work is expected to be completed next spring.
Please note: The public information meeting originally scheduled for August 15 has been rescheduled for August 29, at 5 p.m., at the Plainfield Public Works Facility, 14400 S. Coil Plus Drive.
