The Plainfield Lockport Street Streetscape project includes the
complete replacement of the road and sidewalk on Lockport Street
between James Street and 59 Illinois Street in the heart of
downtown Plainfield’s business district. Work includes the
replacement of an aging water main, water and sanitary sewer
service laterals, reconfiguring of two-way traffic and the
widening of sidewalks.
As Construction Manager and General Contractor our team
provided extensive preconstruction services including budgeting, scheduling,
pedestrian and construction safety plan and site logistic phasing plan. The
design will provide an enjoyable, safe and comfortable pedestrian environment
for shopping and dining.
The Lockport Street Streetscape project is using carefully
chosen quality materials that will be incorporated into a streetscape including:
- Limestone
- Brick pavers
- Granite accent banding
- Colored concrete
Features
include:
- Stone seat walls with fiber optic accent lighting
- Planter and tree
pits
- Benches
- New signage
- Street lighting
The major utility and road construction work began in late-March 2008, and is
scheduled to be substantially complete by late-October 2008. Substantial
completion includes opening of Lockport Street to two-way traffic, a
substantial completion of the pedestrian zones followed by landscaping, signage
and gateway feature installation.
Sollitt is committed to the Village's plan to restore Lockport Street to full
utilization prior to the 2008 holiday shopping season. |
