Upcoming resurfacing project on North Clark Street from North Waveland Avenue to North Southport Avenue.  This work is part of the Chicago Department of Transportation’s Arterial Street Resurfacing – North Area Project, in the 44th Ward.

Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin on October 21, 2019, pending clearance from and coordination with existing utilities, and weather permitting.  The work will include ADA sidewalk improvements, curb and gutter removal and replacement, pavement patching, milling and paving the existing asphalt pavement, and striping.
