Progress Report:
Water main installation continues southward towards the tie-in point at Port Sheldon, which the contractor expects to reach near the end of this week. The contractor is also continuing to rebuild the road by installing and grading sand and gravel on the west side of 48th Avenue south of Rush Creek.
Work on the sanitary sewer project is still on hold for the time being but is complete except for the crossing of Rush Creek and final tie-in.
The road remains closed to through traffic and should not be used except for local traffic only. Local traffic should proceed with caution and be mindful of the workers present.
Upcoming Work:
Once the contractor has reached the tie-in point at the Port Sheldon intersection, they plan to shift north of Rush Creek and continue laying water main towards Baldwin. The shift is expected to occur near the end of the week. The contractor will continue grading the 48th Avenue south of Rush Creek following that shift.
The contractor plans to shift back to the sanitary sewer project and complete the Rush Creek crossing once the contractor has installed more water main north of Rush Creek. This is expected to occur within the next couple of weeks approximately.
Note:
We ask the public to respect the workers and the closed road. Police will continue to be present to safe working conditions and to ensure the road is only being used sparingly by those who live or work on this road and not by though traffic.
