Award Contract For Rt. 173 Improvement 173 from Illinois-Route 47 in Hebron, Illinois east to theJ McHenry-Lake county line. " The contract was awarded to Lakeland Construction com­ pany, Inc., of McHenry, for $1,709,151.47, the low bid. Construction begins this week and must be completed in 115 working days. The improvement consists of widening and resurfacing of the existing twenty-foot pavement, rehabilitating the Nippersink creek structure just west of Richmond, and adjusting the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad, and the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad company's tracks. The rehabilitation of the Nippersink creek structure will be done under one-lane traffic. Temporary traffic signals will be erected at the structure to control the traffic flow.
