The watermain is complete to just north of Griggs Place. The storm sewer is complete from Kent Road to Clover Street. Work is continuing to the north. API Electric set the cameras at the Clover Street and Kent Road intersections, and they completed Qwest’s conduit through the Clover Street intersection.

Ulland is currently backfilling behind the curb and placing forms for the new sidewalks. The sidewalks will be placed on Friday, July 24th. Bituminous paving of the street will take place on Thursday, July 30th. They are continuing with the work on the storm sewer and placing services between Clover Street and Griggs Place. Ulland is on schedule to begin work at the Norton Street intersection on Monday, August 3rd. New business and access signs will be erected by then for Phases 3-5 (Norton Street to Griggs Place). As always, the schedule is dependent on the weather.
Construction of the watermain is complete between Clover Street and Griggs Place. The contractor will continue working on the sanitary sewer and storm sewer in this segment for the remainder of the week. The road-building process has begun to take shape between Kent Road and Clover Street. Class 5 is being placed, and curb & gutter is anticipated next week. Bituminous surfacing will follow. The contractor is on schedule to open Woodland Avenue between Kent Road and College Street on August 1, 2009.

There will be some temporary water shut-offs during the watermain reconstruction. There will be 24 hours’ notice when these shut-offs occur. Access across Elizabeth Street will be open during business hours, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The contractor will be doing all utility work after 5:00 p.m. or on a Saturday. Once the roadway work begins, the intersection will be done half at a time with one lane of traffic open.
The bituminous and concrete removal between Clover Street and Griggs Place has started and will be finished this week. The Contractor will follow this with reconstruction of the utilities in the same area during the next two weeks. The subcut and granular backfill is complete between Kent Road and Clover Street.
