Salo Engineering, Inc.

Greetings, everyone!

Thank you all for being so patient and considerate to everyone involved in the reconstruction of Woodland Avenue.  As the construction season winds down, a lot has been accomplished in the last few weeks.  The remaining work for this season will be completed this week.

Progress

Ulland has completed all utility work and has rebuilt the roadway up to Norton Street.  Last week, the concrete curb & gutter was placed from Griggs Place to Norton Street and the last lift of blacktop was paved from Kent Road to Clover Street.  Earlier this week, the sidewalk and driveways were being replaced.

Schedule

Ulland is currently working on the base course of blacktop from Griggs Place to Norton Street.  This will be complete on Wednesday, 10/28/09.  They will pave the final lift of blacktop on Wednesday and Thursday of this week.  AJ’s Landscaping will finish the sod and yard restorations.  Blacktop driveways will be restored on Thursday, 10/29/09.  Ulland will stripe the roadway and install traffic signs, and we anticipate lifting the detour within a week.

Ulland Brothers will be paving the wear course on Woodland Avenue tomorrow morning, 10/24/09, between Kent Road and Clover Street.  This section of road will be closed during the morning and should be back open around 1:00 p.m.

Progress

Ulland has completed all underground utility work for Phase I of the construction.  They have also finished subcutting from Griggs Place to Norton Street.  They are currently backfilling this area with sand and class 5.  Landscaping has been done between Clover Street and Griggs Place.  The curb & gutter and sidewalk is complete up to Griggs Place.
