Swenson Avenue Base Reclamation Project

The City will be base reclaiming Swenson Avenue between Kirk Road and Kautz Road. The current roadway base is structurally insufficient which has resulted in the rapid deterioration of the driving surface. This project will strengthen the base and repave the road, providing a smooth driving surface for years to come.

 Project Phase: Construction

• Proposed Improvements:
• Utilities: Replacement of aging storm sewer, water valves, and fire hydrants.
• Roadway: Replacement of damaged sidewalk and curb and gutters. Base stabilization with cement and asphalt paving.
• Contractor:  Geneva Construction Company
•  Construction Engineer:  Joshua Schmitt, Phone number 815.276.2081, Email jschmitt@hrgreen.com
• Estimated Timeline:  July 2024 – September 2024 
• Project Locations:  Swenson Avenue from Kirk Road to Kautz Road 
• Road Closures:  Intermittent short-term road closures will be utilized throughout the project. Scheduled weekend closures will be required for base reclamation work.  No long-term road closures are anticipated.
