A major milestone was achieved by the Village with bids being received and opened for the construction of the extension of 143rd Street from IL Route 59 to IL Route 126. This project has been a cornerstone of the Village’s Comprehensive and Transportation Plans for many years and has been recognized by the FHWA, IDOT, Will County, and the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) as a critical component for regional mobility. D Construction was the As-Read Low bidder at $53,042,202.
Construction is expected to begin this summer with the new roadway open by the end of 2025. A ground-breaking ceremony is being planned to recognize the project stakeholders and officials who have made this project a reality.
