10-hour Shutdown of Train Operations Through West Chicago on Sunday, January 25, 2015 Beginning at 4:30 am.

January 23, 2015 By City of West Chicago

 George Street Underpass Project Construction Update

The purpose of this newsletter is to inform you that the City of West Chicago has received notice that Canadian National Railroad (CN) crews are tentatively planning a 10-hour shutdown of train operations through West Chicago on Sunday, January 25, 2015 beginning at 4:30 am.  CN crews will be working to install a pedestrian underpass tunnel at George St, immediately west of the Community High School, under the CN railroad tracks.

Residents should expect to hear work crews preparing their equipment in advance of the train traffic shutdown.  Crews will be actively working throughout the day to complete the work so that the railroad track may be reopened that afternoon.  Vehicular traffic flows will be unaffected, except at the George Street cul-de-sacs.

In case of unanticipated delay of this project day or time, CN may reschedule this work for a later date.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

El propósito de este boletín es informar a usted que en la ciudad de West Chicago ha recibido la noticia de que El personal de Ferrocarriles Nacionales Canadienses (CN) de manera tentativa planifica el cierre de las operaciones del tren en la parte oeste de Chicago.  Dicho cierre deberá tener una duración de 10 horas y se llevará a cabo el domingo 25th de enero, a partir de las 4:30 a.m., hora central. El personal de CN trabajará en la instalación de un túnel peatonal subterráneo en la calle George Street, justamente al oeste de la escuela Community High School, por debajo de las vías férreas de CN.

Es factible que los residentes del área escuchen a los trabajadores preparar su maquinaria antes de comenzar el cierre de la circulación del tren. Trabajarán arduamente durante el día para concluir las labores y permitir que las vías del tren se abran otra vez al llegar la tarde. El flujo del tránsito vehicular no se verá afectado, con excepción de las calles sin salida aledañas a George Street.

En caso de un retraso imprevisto de la fecha o la hora de este proyecto, CN reprogramará las obras para una fecha posterior.
