Parking deck work closes some spaces

Phase 1 work began this week on the Hinsdale parking deck, resulting in partial closures of the upper and lower parking deck.

The parking stalls and drive lane on the south side of both levels of the parking deck (closest to Hinsdale Middle School) will be closed while maintenance is being performed.

Parking will be available in the middle and northernmost lanes of both levels. Purple permit holders should park in the purple zone on Hinsdale Avenue between Grant and Clay streets. Overflow parking is also available in the Washington lot and in red permit spaces on Washington, Lincoln, Second and Third streets.

Phase 1 of the preventive maintenance work is expected to take two weeks. It includes re-caulking joints between the precast tees and control joint maintenance, according to George Peluso, director of public services and engineering for the village.

Phases 2 and 3 will involve completing the same work in the center and northern portions of the parking deck. All work is expected to be completed by late July or early August, depending on weather, Peluso said.

Updates about construction activity will be posted on the village’s website at http://www.villageofhinsdale.org.
