Progress Report:
The 48th Avenue contractor has laid pipe north of Tyler Oaks Drive, but due to material shortage, has stopped laying pipe northward for now. The contractor has continued testing water main and reconstructing the road south of Tyler Street.
The contractor for the Tyler Street water main has begun testing its last stretch of water main, with final connections and water service installation to follow.
Upcoming Work:
The contractor on 48th Avenue will continue testing the water main south of Tyler Street and will continue reconstructing the road in preparation of paving that will take place once the water main is fully tested. The contractor plans to start laying pipe again towards the intersection of Baldwin Street and 48th Avenue around the end of July/early August when they can get the appropriate materials delivered. The sanitary sewer in 48th Avenue will also undergo its final testing in the coming weeks.
The water main in Tyler Street will continue its testing this week, and once the testing is complete, the contractor will make the final connections to the existing water main and install water services before restoration begins.
The roundabout construction at the intersection of 48th Avenue and Baldwin Street is set to begin after water main is installed in that area.
Note:
Local traffic should be aware that the contractor on 48th Avenue will be working on road construction and that this will necessitate construction equipment and trucks over a long stretch of road. Residents north of Rush Creek should access their property from the north as the east side of 48th Avenue is open to local traffic and there is not currently pipe work taking place in 48th Avenue north of Tyler Street. We ask local traffic to continue to be mindful of the work occurring and we appreciate everyone’s patience during construction.
