PROJECT UPDATES – SEPTEMBER 2022

 

24-Hour Drilling Beginning Tuesday, 9/20

On September 13thimage (Construction Notice #9), we informed you that a planned period of 24-hour work was expected to occur between September 14th and September 17th.

In preparation for this 24-hour work, a sewer manhole was damaged on Park Avenue (Construction Notice #10). The sewer manhole is now repaired and a period of 24-hour drilling now will occur between Tuesday, September 20, and Friday, September 23. During this operation, you may hear noises such as drilling, engines, backup alarms, diesel generator and motors. Your water and sewer service will not be disrupted.

This 24-hour work is necessary because once the drilling effort begins, the contractor is unable to stop until the bore is complete.

Once the contractor completes this 24-hour work, they will close the construction pits on Park Avenue to eliminate safety hazards during non-working hours. Sewer manhole installation and road reconstruction at the excavation pits will continue to take place during the new daytime hours (7AM – Sunset) in the days following these 24-hour drilling periods. Roadway paving work to include base layer paving is expected to be completed by late October.

We apologize for this delay and thank you for your patience with the repair issue.

 

While our project team works diligently to minimize impacts, you may notice increased noise and traffic, along with the people and heavy equipment (with back-up safety alarms) associated with construction. Please take care when traveling around the construction area and for your safety, do not enter the site. Due to the nature of construction, work is weather and situation dependent, and dates are subject to change.
