 Eastern Avenue Reconstruction

Overview:

​

Manhattan approved the reconstruction and reopening of Eastern Avenue, from North Street to Smith Road, bringing back another north/south entry point and connection to neighboring New Lenox. ​The portion of road was closed approximately 20 years ago due to its poor condition. Reopening the stretch increases access to and from Manhattan, as a third north/south corridor along with Cedar Road and US 52.

​We completed the installation culverts and storm structures along the full corridor of S. Eastern Avenue, followed by the resurfacing of the roadway with a four-foot shoulder.

​

Scope

• Roadway resurfaced entirely and redone with a four-foot shoulder, and guardrails installed

• Installation of culverts and storm structures along the full corridor of S. Eastern Avenue​

• Soil boring and pavement cores taken so we have a snapshot of what’s underneath the pavement

• Coordinated with IDOT Well Roadway was closed, as the detour will be on North Street and Rt. 52
