Main Street AT&T Repair Project Update

The Village has been coordinating with AT&T regarding the completion of the repair and restoration of the utility lines under Main Street, between St. Charles Rd. and Parkside Avenue in downtown Lombard. The repair is the result of underground equipment that was damaged by a contractor directionally boring for a telecommunication provider. While all work is being completed by contractors that have been hired by AT&T and/or Everstream Communication, the Village will continue to share updates as they are made available.

The Village has been notified that underground utility work is expected to be completed the week of May 10th and paving/restoration is expected to be completed the week of May 17th, depending on weather. The Village appreciates the patience of the Lombard residents, business owners, and commuters, while the necessary repairs are completed.
