Road Closure Notice to Residents Along Meadow Lane:

With Village approval, a portion of Meadow Lane will be temporarily closed from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Monday, October 6th through Wednesday, October 8th. The street will be briefly re-opened between 3:30-4:00 each day to allow school busses to pass through.

The closure will affect only the area directly in front of 1915 Meadow Lane, where crews will be excavating beneath the street to connect the water service for a new home currently under construction. This work will not impact the road resurfacing project timeline.

You will still be able to travel in other directions on Meadow Lane, but through traffic past 1915 Meadow will not be possible during working hours. The road surface will be covered overnight and will be passable.

The general contractor for this project will hand deliver letters to all affected residents. Should you have any questions or concerns, contact Public Works & Building Dept. Manager Sam Barghi at 847-945-6080 or sbarghi@villageofbannockburn.org.
