ROGERS PARK — A "large-scale" project to replace century-old water mains under Bryn Mawr Avenue began this week, blocking westbound traffic.
The first of three phases of the project could take as long as three weeks, said Ald. Harry Osterman (48th).
Eventually, the mains between Kenmore and Glenwood avenues will be completely replaced.
Osterman also announced Wednesday an "Open for Business" event to encourage spending in the Bryn Mawr business district that might see a slump in sales during the project.
