WINFIELDÂ â Work on the upcoming 109th Avenue improvement project is targeted to begin sometime after the Fourth of July, town officials said Tuesday.
The 90-day project includes 54 days of closure, Town Administrator Nick Bellar said at the Town Council meeting.
An exact date of the start of the project and any dates for the road closure have yet to be determined, Bellar said.
In related action to the upcoming construction, the Town Council approved a license agreement with Yvette and Carmen George, who live at 6307 E. 109th Ave.
The agreement with the George family allows town officials temporary access to their property on 109th Avenue when construction begins, Town Council President Gerald Stiener said.

WINFIELD â The town is looking to tackle a long-awaited project this year.Â
During its Tuesday evening meeting, the Winfield Town Council announced the town secured funding to improve the intersection of 109th Avenue and Grand Boulevard.Â
Town Council President Gerald Stiener said the town received a Community Crossing grant for $1 million, as well as funds from the Little Calumet River Basin Development Commission, to complete the project.
The town is working on securing funds to begin the roughly $2 million project this year, hopefully sooner rather than later, Stiener said. We re working out some of the logistical details, but we re anxious to get this project done, Stiener said. It is a very dangerous intersection. Anybody who s driven down this road knows. My wife almost got hit there tonight, as a matter of fact.
