Title
Tinley and Midlothian Creek Culvert Replacement - Bid Award and Proposal
History
In 2006, the Village Board approved Phase I work and Phase II and Phase III engineering for the four-phase Tinley Creek Rehabilitation Project.
Phase I consisted of debris removal and tree trimming in the Creek from Laurel Drive in Fernway to 151st Street and was completed in 2007.
Phase II of the project consists of culvert replacement along the Creek at 86th Avenue, Laurel Drive, 163rd Street, 164th Street and Sherwood Drive along with the Robinhood Drive culvert crossing for Midlothian Creek. All of the culverts are failing resulting in dangerous voids within the roadways.
