Arlington Drive Bridge Update As the weather is hinting at spring, we have officially resumed construction on the Arlington Drive Bridge. This week, crews finished installing all the riprap for the culvert and removing all of the pavement. Crews will begin grading and aggregate base improvements for the roadway, sidewalk, and curb and gutter in preparation for the new sidewalk and curb and gutter to be installed. Once the concrete work is completed and the asphalt plants open for the season, the road will be paved and reopened. This work is contingent upon the weather. We appreciate our residents' continued patience and look forward to completing this project and starting our other projects soon! For a full list of the 2026 projects, visit our website: www.hpil.org/1234/Current-Projects. If residents have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to the Engineering Division at (630) 823-5700.
