Progress Report:
- 48th Avenue Transmission Main: The contractor received a shipment of materials and began laying pipe again in a northward direction. The contractor also continued testing the water main that they’ve installed so far. In addition, the contractor also continued to rebuild 48th Ave where the pipe was finished testing. The contractor is currently laying pipe north of Tyler Oaks Drive.
- Tyler Street Water Main: The contractor continued restoration of the project site.
- 48th Avenue and Baldwin Street Roundabout: The contractor closed the intersection at 48th Avenue and Baldwin Street to traffic from all directions and began surface removals and milling the asphalt in the road. Once the water main is installed through the intersection, the intersection can be built back up with the roundabout.
Upcoming Work:
- 48th Avenue Transmission Main: The contractor will continue testing water main between Wellington Street and Oak Lane Drive and will continue laying water main in a northward direction towards the intersection at Baldwin Street.
- Tyler Street Water Main: The contractor will continue restoration of the project site in order to bring the project to completion.
- 48th Avenue and Baldwin Street Roundabout: The contractor will continue to prepare for roundabout construction after the water main is installed in the intersection.
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.
