Plainfield Trustees to Get Update on Lockport Street Bypass

Village trustees will get the latest on plans for the Lockport Street bypass Monday at a committee of the whole meeting.

Representatives of Strand Associates will discuss three possible alternatives for the project, progress to date with affected property owners and environmental and other considerations.

Last year, the village paid the Joliet-based firm $93,000 to conduct a feasibility study to analyze several potential routes to build a new road between Lockport Street and Route 126 and the proposed 143rd Street extension.

“It would be just west of Four Seasons Park, and there would be a new road that would connect Lockport Street and extend north to Route 126,” Director of Public Works Allen Persons told the board last year.

The meeting is set for 7 p.m. Monday at Village Hall, 24401 W. Lockport St.
