Orland Park, IL – The Village of Orland Park has ordered an immediate shutdown of all fiber optic construction projects within the village limits, according to a news release shared Friday.
According to the Village of Orland Park, construction activities tied to ongoing fiber network expansion have been halted due to concerns over compliance with local permitting requirements and safety issues. Officials said the suspension affects both public rights-of-way and select residential zones where work was in progress.
The village said the halt will remain in place until the contractors responsible provide updated documentation and meet municipal inspection standards. Local officials have not disclosed which company or service provider was performing the work, but they noted that residents may continue to see incomplete trenches or cable lines in affected neighborhoods.
The release urged residents to avoid construction zones and report any open or unsafe work sites directly to the village’s Public Works Department. Updates are expected to be shared on the official Orland Park website as the situation develops.
