The Village has contracted with D Construction to install a traffic-calming chicane on 167th Street just east of 76th Avenue, an area where multiple accidents have resulted in property damage to adjacent homes. This work includes installation of the chicane (a center median used to slow down traffic), as well as curb reconfiguration and lane striping modifications. The lane shift will maintain the existing lane widths in both directions but will shift traffic around the center median.

Project Update [September 2026]: The contractor is substantially completed, with only the final landscaping to be completed.

Traffic Chicane
The annual Pavement Management Program (PMP) includes HMA resurfacing, sidewalk and curb removal and replacement.

Project Update [September 2026]: PT Ferro has substantially completed this year's project. PT Ferro resurfaced approximately seven miles of roadway on 31 streets, along with new sidewalk installation on the south side of 179th Street. More information is available on the Public Works page.
The Village’s annual Sidewalk Flatwork and Curb Program addresses any required concrete maintenance. The scope of work consists of removal, replacement, and construction of new concrete sidewalk, curb and gutter, and driveways at various locations throughout the Village as determined by staff. This year's contractor is J&J Newell.

Project Update [September 2026]: J&J Newell completed its first mobilization in the early summer and will return in the fall for the second mobilization.

The Village received a Rebuild Illinois grant to improve the Helipad on 183rd Street. In general, improvements will include pavement reconstruction, lighting, fencing, security, gates, etc. The contractor is Crowne Tank.

Project Update [October 2026]: The Helipad pavement markings have been refreshed to meet IDOT Aeronautics standards. The in-ground pavement lights are all fully operational, but the Village is awaiting the electrical contractor to return to the site to adjust the timing of the brightness component. The fuel hose has been replaced from a 75’ hose to a 100’ hose, and the storage box which houses the fire extinguishers has been replaced and securely bolted to the concrete pad beneath it. Riprap with fabric underlayment has been added around the perimeter of the retaining wall of the fuel tank to prevent weeds from growing and make the mowing process easier. The Village is awaiting the contractor to extend the fence to the east and add an automatic gate opener with a fob and keypad operating system for the west entrance gate.

Helipad on 183rd Street
Hydrant flushing is the quick release of water from fire hydrants. It’s a controlled procedure that is vital to the general maintenance of the Village's water distribution system. It ensures adequate water flow is available to firefighters, residents and businesses. It also helps maintain the Village's water clarity and quality by clearing iron and mineral deposits from the water mains (distribution pipes). The Village begins annual hydrant flushing in mid-September after water restrictions are lifted. Flushing continues until the weather drops below 32 degrees. Flushing restarts in early spring once temperatures allow.
The Kimberly Heights Drainage Improvement Project consists of installation of new storm sewer within the right of way for improvements of the drainage conditions in the area. The contractor is Airy's Inc.

Project Update [September 2026]: Airy's has substantially completed this project, except for a few remaining landscaping restorations.

The Village's smoke testing project consists of inspecting sanitary sewer manholes and smoke testing the sewer pipes between manholes. The smoke is non-toxic and should not enter homes unless there is an issue with your private sewer service. There is no need for the contractors performing the work to enter homes. This project happens annually; residents affected will be given door hangers before the project starts. See the Smoke Testing Map for locations for this year's program. For more information, see the list of frequently asked questions or call Public Works at (708) 444-5500.
The Village of Tinley Park will begin the 2026 Water Main Replacement Program tentatively in late July or early August. M&J Construction will be the Village’s contractor, with Christopher Burke Engineering overseeing all engineering aspects of the project. The Village will be installing close to 1,200 linear feet of water main this year. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Tinley Park Public Works Department at tppw@tinleypark.org or (708) 444-5500.

Non-Village Projects
The below projects are not being conducted by the Village of Tinley Park but are included here as a reference for residents.

Will County is performing widening and reconstruction of 80th Avenue from 191st Street to 183rd Street. The project includes constructing additional through lanes and turn lanes; the construction/reconstruction of two 12-foot through lanes in each direction; the construction of an 18-foot barrier median; traffic signal installation/modifications at 185th Street and 183rd Street; construction of noise walls on the northwest corner of the 183rd street intersection; replacement of triple circular culverts with a bridge over Union Drainage Ditch; and replacement of culvert for a tributary to the Union Drainage Ditch. Part of this project includes construction of a 190-foot-long bridge over Union Drainage Ditch. The bridge includes two 12-foot lanes in each direction and a 15-foot multiuse path.

Project Update [May 2026]: After May 25, motorists traveling through the intersection of 80th Avenue at 191st Street should expect shifting lane configurations and temporary delays as crews work to remove and install new pavement at the intersection as part of Will County’s reconstruction of the roadway. Due to construction sequencing required at the intersection, traffic patterns may shift frequently (in some cases, on a daily basis) as asphalt paving progresses. The intersection will be in an active construction configuration throughout the duration of this work.  One lane of traffic will be open at all times. Will County will have flaggers and/or traffic control devices in place to guide motorists through the work zone. Will County urges drivers to slow down, follow all posted signage, and be prepared for changing traffic conditions. Will County anticipates having the final asphalt surface course placed later this summer as part of its overall 80th Avenue reconstruction project.

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is undertaking a $48 million project to replace the eastbound Interstate 80 bridges over Hickory Creek, Richards Street, Rowell Avenue/Canadian National Railroad and westbound over Richards Street, in Joliet, Rockdale and New Lenox. The project is part of advance work leading to the $1.2 billion reconstruction of I-80 through Will County as part of the Rebuild Illinois capital program.

The water system infrastructure improvements that Oak Lawn and its engineering firm have been designing are scheduled to be completed in 2023. The new system will have dual, redundant feeds; more modern and efficient pump stations; and significantly larger capacity.
The Village has approved permits with AT&T and Verizon to install small cell antennas on utility poles in several public right of ways across Tinley Park. The State passed the Illinois Small Wireless Facilities Deployment Act in 2018 requiring all municipalities to accept these kinds of installations. The law limits local authority to review and permit small cell antennas, including prohibiting the ability to deny or require any zoning approval. The intent of the law was to allow carriers easier ability to expand cell coverage by limiting local regulations. This is because cell coverage has been viewed as a necessary public utility and public safety need. Additionally, personal and environmental effects of any telecommunication facilities may only be regulated by the FCC and has been federal law since 1996. Tinley Park (along with most Illinois municipalities) opposed the small cell law as an overreach by the State and something that should be allowed to be controlled locally. However, it passed and remains a requirement that the Village cannot deny the permits. The Village has put the strictest regulations allowed in place to ensure these cell antennas blend in as much as possible and don’t detract from the community.
