Lombard closing intersection of Edson, Wilson for sewer work

Construction to improve a sanitary sewer manhole will require the temporary complete closure of the Edson and Wilson Avenue intersection, one block east of Finley Road, for approximately four weeks beginning June 25.

The intersection is scheduled to reopen the week of Aug. 6, depending on weather. Detours will be posted during the construction.

The work is to alleviate sewer odors and reduce corrosion within the structure by using the sewage's own energy to oxidize odorous gases. The process will help extend the life of the improved infrastructure.

Traffic will not be allowed through the intersection during construction. Residents on Wilson and Edson avenues will maintain access to their driveways and will receive mailed notification of the project details. Postal and garbage service will not be adversely affected, however some delay to the regular schedule may occur. PACE bus service will be rerouted.

Once the manhole repair is completed, the intersection will remain closed briefly to allow village crews to patch the pavement.
