Upcoming Construction Projects In Lakeview

NOTICE: CDOT's Lincoln-Ashland-Belmont Section 2 Improvements starts soon. As CDOT states, "Throughout construction the streets will remain open to motorists and pedestrians and access to businesses will be maintained. In order to keep the street open to traffic, parking will not be allowed in the area of active construction. In addition, there will be periodic parking restrictions on some side streets. Additionally, CTA routes will not be affected.”

Additionally, the asphalt restoration of Ashland from Belmont to Addison will begin this week or next week to repave the portions impacted in last year's water main project. This work will disrupt traffic partially as the existing asphalt is removed before a new layer of asphalt gets put down.
