Progress Report:
The contractor has closed down 48th Ave between Port Sheldon and Tyler St and has placed detour signs to route traffic away from the construction area. This week the contractor also installed soil erosion control measures, and they’ve also milled 48th Ave where work will take place during Stage 1 to prepare for excavation work next week.
Upcoming Work:
The contractor will begin installing sanitary sewer in 48th Ave south of Rush Creek next week. Work will progress towards the south to tie-in to the work completed last year. Once the sanitary sewer is tied into the south, the sanitary sewer will be installed across Rush Creek and tie into the north. The contractor anticipates completing the work on the sanitary sewer around the beginning of May. Once the work on sanitary sewer is complete, work will begin on the 24-inch water transmission main.
Note:
We ask the public to respect the workers and the closed road and that they be aware that police will continue to be present to ensure safe and effective working conditions. Drivers will be stopped and ticketed if found attempting to use the 48th Ave north of Port Sheldon Street.
