The 2025 Village of Elm Grove Paving Project will continue tomorrow with work to be completed on Highland Drive from Club Drive to Hawthorne (N). The Village's contractor, Wolf Paving, will begin promptly at 7:00 a.m. with staging of equipment potentially beginning earlier.

Please be prepared for some delays as the crews work with installing the asphalt, compacting it with rollers, etc. There will be flaggers in the area to assist navigating motorists; however, please avoid the area if possible. When traversing the new asphalt, please do not make any sharp turns and try not to come to a complete stop.

The paving should be completed by the end of the day. Thank you for your cooperation.

If you accidently dial 911 STAY ON THE LINE, DO NOT HANG UP! Hanging up ties up dispatchers longer as they need to call back to confirm if there was an emergency. Many of these calls are preventable and result in emergency service time spent verifying there isn’t an emergency.
Many of these calls are due to the technology on phones and watches. Consider disabling the autodial feature or SOS features on cell phones and watches, as these features are often the culprit for unintentional calls.
