City of Elmhurst announces road closures during Nicor Gas pipeline installation

Posted

Nicor Gas, with its contractor—NPL— will be installing a new segment of natural gas main along Madison Street in Elmhurst, using both open trench and directional drilling construction methods, beginning east of Fairview Avenue to east of Fairfield Avenue.

To ensure safe transportation conditions for residents, Nicor and NPL may need to temporarily close portions of Madison Street and Hawthorne Avenue during the installation of the new gas main.

Traffic control and detour signage will be placed throughout the affected areas to guide traffic along alternative routes as necessary. Nicor and NPL will coordinate with residents for safe street access and any necessary driveway closures along Madison Street.

During the project, segments of pipeline and other construction materials and equipment may be staged in and around the construction area. Temporary safety fencing, as well as barricades and signage, will be placed throughout the work area.

Nicor Gas customers will continue to receive natural gas service during the construction period. The project is expected to conclude in early October of this year, weather permitting.
