Progress Report:

The installed water main has passed testing. The contractor will be on site next week to make the final connections early in the week. Following that, the contractor will rebuild the road and prepare for paving the last stretch of 48th Avenue outside of the roundabout.

The roundabout at the intersection of 48th Avenue and Baldwin Street is expected to open around the middle of October.

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 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.
