Progress Report:
The contractor has placed water main pipe up to the south side of the intersection with Van Buren St and has continued work to restore the ditch and the culverts that are under the driveways.
Upcoming Work:
The contractor will close the intersection of 48th Ave and Van Buren St on Monday, September 16 first thing in the morning and continue north through the intersection. The Stage 2 detour (see below) will be used for this closure. As a reminder, no access is allowed through the 48th Avenue and Van Buren Street intersection.
The Contractor will cross Van Buren Street with the transmission main and will then test the main later in the week. Restoration work will continue to occur south of Van Buren Street.
Extra Notes:
Unity Christian: beginning before school on Monday, September 16, access to Unity Christian will only be able to be from the 48th Avenue/Port Sheldon Street intersection (see the detour photo below). Unity will only be able to use the 48th Avenue/Port Sheldon Street intersection for getting to/leaving Unity until late October 2024, when Dean’s anticipates completing construction for the year (and returning back again in late May 2024).
As a reminder, police officers will continue to be present to keep the construction site safe from traffic trying to use Van Buren Street and/or 48th Avenue north of Van Buren Street and south of Unity Christian High School.
