Project Updates
August 23, 2024
- The contractor is currenting finishing base material and temporary gravel on the north half of the project. Once this has been completed, local residents will be able to use this portion of the project for access as work starts on the south half of the project.
- At this time the contractor is also connecting water services along the south half of the project onto the auxiliary temporary water line running down each boulevard. During the connection, residents will have a minor disruption to water flow while the service is switched from the old watermain to the auxiliary line. Following the connection, water service should not be interrupted until the service is connected to the new watermain to be installed in the coming weeks.
- On Monday, August 26th, the contractor plans to perform pavement removals on the south half of Park St to the Albion Ave intersection in preparation for new sanitary sewer, watermain, and storm sewer installation. During this time residents will not have access to their driveways until the utilities and street base grading are completed. During this time of limited access residents are asked to park on the recently completed, and gravel surfaced, north half of Park St or on Albion Ave outside the current construction extents. Through this process we kindly ask residents to be patient with the construction process and reach out to our Construction Representative with any questions or concerns.

- The Budd Street intersection has been reopened following installation of watermain, sanitary sewer, storm sewer and temporary gravel surfacing.
- Mensing is currently installing watermain and sanitary sewer on the north half of Park St. This work will continue through the week and transition to installation of sewer and water services throughout the current extents.
- During the installation of water services there will be a short interruption in water supply for residences. This is last less than 1 hour while the contractor switches the water supply from the temporary water to the newly installed service line.
- The current phase of construction will be completed following grading and placement of aggregate base material. The street will be graveled and available for use before the contractor begins removals on the south half of Park St.
