Project Updates

Work Activities
Crews will begin work in the median as they work on rehabilitating the sewer line and improvements to the storm drain. Construction activities will take place Monday through Friday between 7 am and 7 pm. You can expect increased noise, vibrations, and dust. Crews will be maintaining work zones on each side of the roadway. These traffic shifts will be ongoing throughout construction season.

Weekly Update 8/31/2021
We have several crews coming on site this week, work will include:

– Fairmont Park access from 900 East remains closed. This is to accommodate the pouring of the new driveway.
It will re-open for Labor Day weekend and then close for one final concrete pour.
It is anticipated to fully re-open on Thursday, September 16, 2021.
– Removal and replacement of sidewalk, drive approaches, and curb and gutter from 2700 S to Hollywood Ave.
The sidewalk will be closed.
Concrete removed will be replaced within 48 hours or filled with gravel for temporary access. New drive approaches cannot be driven on for 7 days, cars will have to be parked on side streets during that time.
– Reconstruction of east lane of 900 E.
The east lane will be completely closed while crews install a new bike lane and new curb and gutter.
Driveway and business access will be maintained unless there is concrete being poured directly in front of property. You will be notified if this is taking place.
Be aware of a up to 6” drop off in the road, digging, and open utility holes in the construction zone.
Cleanout boxes are being reconstructed in the work zone, watch out for holes.
– Relocation of fire hydrants and water services along 900 E.
Due to the city improvements being constructed several water services and hydrants will be relocated.
Any water shutoffs will be coordinated with the city and residents will be given 24–48-hour notice. Expect 12-hour shutoffs.
