Residents & Business Owners,
We finally have some concrete down! Thank you for your patience as the paver made its way north on the westbound lanes this week. Access to the new pavement is still currently limited, but residents will soon be able to park near their homes on the new concrete. Next week curb & gutter will be placed in the downtown area. During this time, vehicles cannot be parked on the new pavement so the machine can place the curb right along the edge of the new pavement. Following the curb & gutter, sidewalks and driveways will be poured. These operations will take a couple weeks to complete.
Please note that new concrete requires a specific strength be achieved before vehicles can access it, which includes the curb & gutter, sidewalk, and driveways. Please be patient if you see areas blocked off with cones or caution tape. They are blocked off to protect both the work and your vehicle from damage during the initial concrete set up time. Pedestrians and bicyclists will also need to be mindful of fresh concrete and work efforts. There may be times where the contractor will need to safely direct you through the work zone, as they prepare for the traffic switch later this month.
Grading is also continuing on the north end of the project to build the next portion of the temporary lanes for work on the roundabout.
Thank you again for your continued patience and understanding as we work through Stage 2 of the project.
Thanks,
Elizabeth Reis |
