The Cook County Highway Department will begin work on the Durfee Creek crossing on County Road 60 the week of Aug. 5.
The scope of the project includes replacing the existing corrugated metal pipe with a bottomless aluminum arch set on concrete footings. This will enhance the stream crossing, facilitate fish passage and improve the roadway. County crews have begun prepping the site for the culvert replacement.
The Durfee Creek project will necessitate closure of County Road 60 at Durfee Creek for approximately four weeks. Travelers are advised to use alternate routes until work is complete.
The project is funded through an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) grant awarded by the federal government.
