The village president, Mayor Fitzgerald Roberts, says the final repairs are expected to be done by Wednesday.

Last week, Mayor Roberts had said the village needed help – and fast.

"I appreciate the help we are getting from Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle," Roberts said. "The crews the County sent us have helped us get to a point where we can get these repairs done. I also thank Cook County Commissioner Deborah Sims, our Village Board, our staff, and our public works department of all of their hard work."
