Progress Report:
- 48th Avenue: The contractor has laid pipe in the intersection of 48th Avenue and Baldwin Street and has begun to lay pipe towards the east to the ending point of the project. The contractor will have to connect their water mains at the end of the project when they receive all of their materials. The contractor also continued restoration of the road and testing of the water main that they have installed so far.
- Tyler Street: The contractor continued restoration of the project site.
- 48th Ave and Baldwin St Roundabout: The Road Commission’s contractor was not on site after removing the asphalt in the road because the contractor for the water main was working in that area.
Upcoming Work:
- 48th Avenue: The contractor will continue laying pipe to the east towards the end of the project, but once they receive the rest of their material, they will return to the area south of the intersection to connect their water mains and finish the project. The contractor will also continue rebuilding the road and restoring the project site.
- Tyler Street: The contractor will continue final restoration of the site.
- 48th Ave and Baldwin St Roundabout: The contractor will finish surface removals and will begin building up the roundabout.
Notes:
48th Avenue remains closed to through traffic from Port Sheldon Street to Baldwin Street. The intersection at Baldwin Street and 48th Avenue remains closed from every direction for the roundabout construction. Through traffic should continue to follow the posted detour signage.
Residents along 48th Avenue and Tyler Street should be aware that crews will be on site restoring the roads and greenspace around the roads.
Local traffic needing access to Sutherland Springs Condominium should do so by turning onto 48th Avenue from Port Sheldon Street if possible. While the contractor will continue to maintain access to 48th Avenue from either direction, dump trucks will be lined up north of Tyler Oaks Drive later in the week.
We ask the public to respect the workers and the closed road. Police will continue to monitor the site to ensure safe working conditions and to ensure the road is only being used by those who live or work on this road. Local traffic should continue to be especially mindful as there will be multiple crews on site next week. The contractor is aware of the difficult traffic situation and will accommodate to the best of their ability.
