All:
As you may have noticed, the start of concrete paving has been pushed back from today. The tentative new start date will be Monday. Please be mindful of the stringlines along the work area. These posts and string ensure that the concrete pavement is installed at the correct elevation and to provide a smooth ride. During this time, a few intersections will remain closed. Please utilize an adjacent intersection in the interim. Once concrete is placed, it requires up to 7 days of “cure” time before vehicular traffic can access it and a minimum 24 hrs before pedestrian traffic can utilize it. Please do not attempt to use the new pavement until it is clearly open for vehicular traffic, as this will damage your vehicle and delay the project. During this time, there will also be minor interruptions to some pedestrian crossings, and we appreciate your patience while we try to reduce the impact to both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. There will be sawing required on the concrete pavement after placement. This is timed specifically to control how the concrete cures and reduces maintenance issues down the road, if timed correctly. We apologize for the inconvenience, as it is likely to happen during evening/nighttime hours.
Grading efforts are continuing near the new roundabout and will continue into next week. Again, we appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through the project. Enjoy the rest of your week!
Thanks,
