Construction Updates
Week of May 13 – 17
This week, the contractor installed watermain in the intersection of Memorial Road and Lakeshore Dr. Work extended through the entire week due to inclement weather.
Next week the contractor plans to finish the water main work in the intersection, though no service interruptions are anticipated. Following completion of the watermain, sanitary work will begin in the intersection and continue north along Memorial Road. The gas company also plans to finish their gas main relocation along both Lakeshore Drive and Memorial Road by Friday of next week, barring weather or unforeseen circumstances.
Week of May 6 – 10
Last week, the contractor installed sanitary casing pipe in the central portion of Memorial Road. Inclement weather caused the expected work to take the entirety of the week. Preparations were also made to begin pavement removal at the south end of Memorial.
For this week, the contractor plans to perform watermain work with a service interruption Monday between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. They will also be closing the south half of Memorial Road to all traffic for pavement removal. Another water service interruption is scheduled for Wednesday between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. to facilitate watermain work within the intersection of Memorial and Lakeshore Dr due to rain delays from last week. Notices for both service interruptions have been distributed to the affected business. Sanitary sewer work is tentatively planned for Thursday depending on weather conditions and material availability.
