OAK SPRING ROAD BRIDGE RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT
With an anticipated start date of June 2024, Libertyville Township Road District will begin removing and reconstructing the Oak Spring Road Bridge with pavement reconstruction on the east and west approaches. The new structure will provide a single 12-foot travel lane in each direction plus a 3-foot shoulder and an 8-foot pathway on both sides of the traveled way. This project will be largely funded through a federal infrastructure improvement grant. A completion date for the project is yet to be determined.
Due to the size and nature of a bridge replacement project, Oak Spring Road will be CLOSED for the duration of construction from the Des Plaines River Trail to the west and the private driveway at 15463 Oak Spring Road to the east. Local traffic only will be permitted from Appley Avenue/2nd Street to the full closure, and from St. Mary's Road to the full closure. It is anticipated the Lake Minear parking, Des Plaines River Trail path, and all residential driveways and side streets will be accessible throughout the construction duration, however, the Lake County Forest Preserve District Canoe Launch parking lot will be closed. Please find attached a location map and detour exhibit.

SNOW REMOVAL INFORMATION
The Road District is responsible for snow removal on the 28 miles of unincorporated roads within the Township. Plowing generally begins when snow is more than one inch deep and freezing temperatures indicate that the snow will not melt. Below are a few ways for you to assist us in the process!
- Please do not shovel or blow snow back into the street after it has been plowed and salted. Snow that is deposited on the street can refreeze and cause hazardous conditions for you or your neighbors.
- When it starts to snow, park your vehicle off the street. This protects it from being plowed in. It also prevents receiving a ticket and being towed.
- Check that your mailbox and post are in good repair and that they are behind the curb, not leaning out over the street.
- If there is a fire hydrant in front of your home, clear the snow around it. It is there for your protection and that of your neighbors.
- Please remove portable basketball hoops from the right-of-way. The Township is not responsible for damages that occur during snow removal operations.
- Please place garbage and recycling bins on the apron of the driveway. These bins are not to be placed on the roadway as they become hazards for plow driver.
Libertyville Township’s Mosquito Abatement Program
Libertyville Township has engaged Clarke Environmental Mosquito Management, Inc. to provide six adult mosquito control applications this season. The Road District has placed mosquito dunks, a larvicide, into the storm sewer catch basins in the unincorporated areas.
For unincorporated Township residents who have standing water on their property, mosquito dunks are available for pick-up. The mosquito dunks slowly release a long term, biological mosquito larvicide. The Township’s services are meant to be in addition to preventative measures undertaken by homeowners and businesses.
To be notified of the nighttime adult mosquito applications, sign up with the following link: www.clarkeportal.com/hotline. You can receive an autodial message, a text or email. In addition, you can report if mosquitoes are particularly bad in your neighborhood and if there is standing water that may need to be treated by calling the Mosquito Hotline (800) 942-2555.
