Construction Projects UpdateGROUP 5 SEWER IMPROVEMENTS Due to material delivery problems, the contractor has had to change his work schedule for the following intersections effective immediately: The intersection of Harrison/Fifth Streets will be closed on Monday 7-19-10 as progress continues on the Harrison St. sewer. This intersection should be re-opened the following day. The intersection of Jackson/Fifth will be closed on Tuesday 7-20-10 or Wednesday. The contractor will then continue southwest on Jackson towards Davidson Street. At no time will the intersections of Jackson/Fifth and Harrison/Fifth be closed at the same time. The contractor finished the installation of sanitary sewer on Jackson St. to near Fifth Street and the bore under the Manville Railroad spur on Jackson Street. The contractor is continuing with sanitary sewer construction on Jackson Street southwest towards Davidson Street. The intersection of Jackson/Fifth Streets will be closed on Monday 7-19-10 as progress continues on the Jackson St. sewer. This intersection should be re-opened the following day. The contractor’s second mainline crew has finished installing 8” sanitary sewer on Harrison St. from Third St. to near Fifth St. This crew will move to Fourth Street from Harrison and install a sanitary sewer on Fourth Street on Monday 7-19-10. This contractor will then continue with the sanitary sewer installation on Harrison on Tuesday 7-20-10 and will close the intersection of Harrison/Fifth on Tuesday 7-20-10 or Wednesday. The contractor will then continue southwest on Harrison towards Davidson Street. At no time will the intersections of Jackson/Fifth and Harrison/Fifth be closed at the same time. Progress will be updated weekly via this e-mail format to better keep you aware of what areas are being affected by the construction. It is important to understand that the areas where the contractor is working will be closed to through traffic (approximately 500 feet). As construction gets underway, it is inevitable that issues will arise. Should you have any questions or comments, please feel free to call this office so that your concerns can be addressed. GROUP 6 SEWER IMPROVEMENTS This group 6 project takes place mainly on Baltimore St., Holgate Avenue, Deatrick St., First Street, and Fort St. and various other side streets to the east of Holgate Ave. There are two separate contracts for this project, labeled Contract A and Contract B. These work areas overlap each other. For the most part, Contract A is the installation of new sanitary and storm sewer systems. Contract B is for lining the existing sewer system. Contractor B has finished. (with the exception of punch list items) Contractor A has completed doing grading and seeding. Contractor A has finished doing trench paving in various parking areas just off the street along Holgate Ave. near Deatrick and also on Wesley St. Contractor A has removed and replaced the concrete portion of the street in front of Omni Source on Linden St., and is replacing the concrete portion of the street on Tuendawie St. Tuendawie St. will be closed to thru traffic until Thursday 7-15-10 between Linden St. and Colby St. Local traffic will be able to access the businesses and residences along these work areas as on the other group projects. If you have any concerns or questions, you can contact myself, or the contractor with any concerns that you have relating to this work. Dave Pracht |
