After years of delays and false starts, the crumbling Western Avenue overpass in Roscoe Village is under demolition, but some area businesses are worried their shops will come down with the bridge.<\/p>\n

The 17-month and $26 million reconstruction of the overpass kicked off Tuesday with its permanent closing. Upon completion in 2017, the intersection of Western, Belmont and Clybourn Avenues will be transformed into a grade-level intersection designed to improve traffic flow and pedestrian walkways along this pivotal stretch of Western Avenue.<\/p>\n

Starting Friday at 8 p.m., there will be a three-day full closure of Western Avenue from Nelson to Roscoe and at the intersection with Belmont and Clybourn Avenues, which will reduce the total time of the project by one month, according to a spokesperson at the Chicago Department of Transportation.<\/p>\n

In order to avoid the condensed lane space during the remainder of construction, CDOT is advising motorists to avoid Western Avenue between Diversey and Irving Park. This diversion of traffic could negatively impact small businesses located within the construction zone.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re still in the first week right now and traffic is already backed up,\u201d said Bob Bothur, owner of Soundz Good, a car electronics shop in the 3400 block of Western.<\/p>\n

Bothur said \u201cif he makes it through the year,” he looks forward to the re-pavement and median work that will improve safety and traffic outside his storefront. However, his business is still recovering from a sewer line replacement last summer that took CDOT twice the estimated weeks-long period.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s inevitable and I can’t control it,\u201d said Bother, adding that he is not crunching any numbers to predict how the upcoming project will impact his business. \u201cI\u2019m stuck between a rock and hard place. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.”<\/p>\n

Another business coming to terms with the Western Avenue reconstruction is Bothur\u2019s neighbor, Keep It Clean car wash.<\/p>\n

Manager Jose Tiscareno said last year\u2019s construction affected the business \u201ctraumatically\u201d with an estimated 70 percent decrease in revenue during the summer. Now facing a 17-month project, Tiscareno is bracing for another serious downturn.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe won\u2019t go under but business will go down,\u201d Tiscareno said. \u201cWith that wall to wall traffic, of course it\u2019s going to have an impact.”<\/p>\n

Tiscareno said that on a good day, the car wash services 100, but with side streets taking on the burden of lane closings, he doesn\u2019t anticipate customers sticking around two or three times the usual wait.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t get any foot traffic. People have to bring their cars in,\u201d Tiscareno said. \u201cHopefully, once they open two lanes back up, we\u2019ll bounce back. We have loyal customers. ”<\/p>\n

Bothur also believes in his loyal customers and is taking steps to ensure he makes accessing his business as easy as possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost customers, if they\u2019re coming here, they\u2019re coming here,\u201d Bothur said. \u201cWe want to make it as easy as possible.”<\/p>\n

Bothur said it\u2019s imperative he informs his customers that he’s doing the best he can.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have my Web guy creating a route map for our site,\u201d Bothur said. \u201cWe\u2019re also advertising free valet parking. If people call before they get here, we can be outside waiting for them.”<\/p>\n

Keep It Clean, which has been operating for two years, is also developing special deals including a VIP program that will keep customers coming regularly. But if traffic problems cause numbers to drop substantially, Tiscareno worries he may need to cut staff in half.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there isn\u2019t enough work to do, it affects everybody,\u201d Tiscareno said. \u201cI\u2019m sure it\u2019ll look nice and everything, but we have to deal with it now.”<\/p>\n

A spokesperson at the Chicago Department of Transportation said that building an intersection at grade will “re-establish the fabric of the neighborhood grid and create new opportunities for economic development and job creation in this northwest side area that borders on Lakeview and Roscoe Village.”<\/p>\n

Bothur said in an attempt to keep a positive outlook, he\u2019s focusing on the future prospects of Roscoe Village after the construction is complete.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo years from now, we\u2019ll look back and think maybe we should\u2019ve done this or that, but there is nothing we can do,\u201d Bother said. \u201cIn two years it\u2019s going to look great, everyone is going to do great. It\u2019s just a matter of squeaking by in the meanwhile.”<\/p>\n
