Project Overview:

In April, Department of Water Management (DWM) crews will begin to install new 24-inch sewer main in W. Diversey Pkwy. from N. Halsted St. to N. Burling St. The old sewer main needs to be replaced.

When crews are working on Diversey, they will need to close the street 24/7 between Halsted and Burling. Information about the Diversey street closure can be found below.

Crews will post the work area for “No Parking” as needed during work hours (generally 7 a.m.-4 p.m.). We are agreeable to parking outside of those hours, but cars will need to be moved by the start of the next workday. We will work with the crew to try to preserve as much parking as possible.

We know that construction always involves inconveniences and noise. Crews will do everything possible to maintain your quality of life throughout these projects, and conducting themselves as good and thoughtful neighbors in the course of their presence on your street.

Parkway Maintenance:

Before any project, the Department of Water Management (DWM) takes photographs of the street and surrounding properties. These photographs help us restore the area to its pre-construction state. However, DWM does not assume responsibility for damage to privately installed parkway improvements, including sprinkling systems, fences, flower beds and shrubbery.

New sewer construction is not complete until damaged sidewalks, parkways and streets have been repaired.
