To view the progress of the East Extension of the 143rd project, please check out the November 2025 Construction Update Video posted on the Gallery Page.
This video includes footage from the first of two concrete pours scheduled for the bridge over the DuPage River. The new bridge will be 960 feet long requiring 3,500 cubic yards of concrete and close to a million pounds of steel reinforcement. With an average concrete mixing truck carrying 8 cubic yards of concrete, over 400 loads of concrete will eventually be delivered to complete the bridge.
Thank you for your interest in the 143rd Street East Extension Improvements. Stay tuned to the website for future updates.
Please drive carefully through the construction zone, refrain from cell phone use, and watch for equipment and workers.
