Progress Report:
- 48th Avenue: All testing for the 24-inch transmission main has been completed. The road crew finalized preparing the road and driveways for paving from Oak Lane Drive up to the roundabout project limits at Baldwin.
- Baldwin Street/48th Avenue Roundabout: The contractor for the roundabout continued working in the intersection this week.
Upcoming Work:
- 48th Avenue: The contractor plans on paving the first two layers of asphalt from Oak Lane Drive to the Baldwin roundabout on Monday. Following that, the final layer of asphalt is scheduled for paving on Thursday. Restoration along 48th Avenue will continue throughout next week as well.
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. Please note that the road closures will remain in place even after paving.
Residents along 48th Avenue should be aware that crews will be on site restoring the roads and greenspace around the roads, especially on Monday and Thursday when paving occurs. There will most likely be traffic flaggers present during paving.
Local traffic needing access to Sutherland Springs Condominium should do so by turning onto 48th Avenue from Tyler Street or Port Sheldon due to paving. Local traffic may be redirected by the paving flaggers depending on where the pavers are at.
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.
