Get Ready! Orchard Drive Construction About To Begin! (Video/Story)


Park Forest, IL-(ENEWSPF)- Park Forest Mayor John A. Ostenburg reminds residents to expect delays this summer, but to also look forward to one of the most highly traveled roadways in town being significantly upgraded when work is completed.

The long-awaited construction is about to begin, Park Forest. Are you ready?

Remember: Temporary Inconvnience for Permanent Improvement.

Question: Why will North Orchard Drive no longer be two lanes?

Answer: The Village of Park Forest is moving forward — finally — on this project because 70% of the $8,039,748 ($8M+) project is funded by federal dollars, many of which are grants which never would have been awarded if not for the current layout, with bicycle lanes, etc.
