Shermer Road Could Reopen As Early As May

The portion of Shermer Road that has been closed since the 2012 bridge collapse could open as much as 5 months ahead of schedule.

The portion of Shermer Road that has been closed since the July 4, 2012 bridge collapse could reopen as much as five months ahead of schedule, according to an article in the Glenview Announcements.

IDOT has until then end of September to reopen that portion of road, which closed after the train derailment that killed a Glenview couple who were driving underneath it at the time. 
But the Glenview Announcements article says that the last part of the project — ensuring that the water, sanitary and storm water systems under the road are in good shape — could move faster than expected, allowing for a May 1 completion.
