Work continues to move along with the two pipe crews working on the project currently. With that we are in the middle of the major road closures portion of the project and so this entry into the blog is an update with the latest information on street closings related to the East Central Storm Water Project.
Expansion Blvd.
The section of road taken out on Expansion Blvd. by the Radio Tower site has been replaced and was opened back up to traffic last week.
The section of road taken out at the intersection of East 4th Street was poured back on Tuesday, August 27th and pending positive test results on Friday should be opened on Friday or Saturday morning.
Richland St.
A portion of Richland Street at the intersection of Ray Street was removed late last week and crews should be through the area and ready for pouring back that section yet this week. Curing time on the concrete will take us into next week before the road will re-open (hopefully around the middle of the week).
East 4th Street
Once they have reopened the section of Expansion Blvd. at the intersection with East 4th Street they will close down East 4th Street at the old railroad tracks area. This will require traffic to route around East 4th Street using Richland to Expansion and then into the Rose, Tulip, and Violet Lane areas. Based on the current schedule we would anticipate that East 4th Street will be closed down at the earliest on Friday, August 30th or for sure on Tuesday, September 3rd.
Rose Lane (East Cul-de-sac)
Work will begin next week on the installation of storm water piping in the Rose and Tulip Lane areas. For this work the cul-de-sacs on the east end of those streets will be torn out and replaced following the installation of storm drain pipe. Rose Lane will be the first of these streets to see construction. Emergency vehicle access will be maintained and a paving schedule has been developed which is available on the project web page. Residents affected by this closure are asked to keep vehicles off of the street during the construction process and until the road is paved back.
The best guess for work to begin on Rose Lane would be Wednesday (9.4) and Thursday (9.5).
Tulip Lane (East Cul-de-sac)
Work on this cul-de-sac area will follow the work on Rose Lane and should be about two (2) weeks behind that project's start.
In Addition -
The dirt crews are also back working on the remaining ponds and shaping ditches where the pipe crew has finished installing pipe. They will be hauling more dirt off the project site including hauling dirt to the City's spoil containment facility across from McKenna Drive.
The last time we had hauling to that area we had issues with dust and the contractor has been reminded that they need to keep the dust under control. The project inspector will also be keeping an eye on this as well.
