Madison Street Roadwork Begins Aug. 29th

Beginning Monday, August 29th, the Village’s contractor will begin diamond grinding on Madison St between Main St and Grace St. The work is being performed to improve the rideability of the roadway, and weather permitting, is expected to take approximately one week to complete.

The road will remain open to traffic; however, lane closures will be in the immediate work zone. Flaggers will be on-site to assist with traffic control, and motorists are urged to slow down and exercise caution while driving through the work zone.

Tree Stump Grinding In Progress

The Village of Lombard is grinding tree stumps located in the parkways throughout the Village. As a reminder, please do not park vehicles on the street adjacent to stumps that have been flagged for utility locates.

To date, more than 50% of the work has been completed!
