Construction Update Dec. 8, 2023

The curbs and sidewalks have been restored and roadway has been paved. Line painting is to be completed on Saturday December 9, 2023. Although the roadway is open to local traffic, the road will need to remain closed to through traffic a little longer before it can be re-opened. The following is a rough schedule for the week of December 11,2023:

Monday: Landscape restoration (topsoil and sod of disturbed boulevard areas).

Tuesday/Wednesday: No significant work expected. Possible minor cleanup, completion of landscape restoration not completed on Monday, etc.

Thursday: Use of crane to install low profile lid on maintenance hole at corner of Keats Walk and Keats Way.

Friday: Back filling soil around maintenance hole and final cleanup

The roadway will be re-opened following final cleanup, which is expected to be complete by end of day Friday the 15, 2023. The re-opening date is contingent upon the delivery date of the low profile lid for the maintenance hole. The current installation date is based on the delivery date provided by the precast concrete manufacturer but is subject to change.

Please note that due to unexpected conflicts with natural gas mains at the corner of Keats Way and Karen Walk, some components of the bypass sewer design could not be installed this fall. These components are not critical to the functioning of the storm sewer bypass but would be expected to improve performance. These components may be installed in 2024 following adjustment of natural gas infrastructure. Schedule to be confirmed.

Replacement of all malfunctioning water valves has also been completed. Any water shutdowns going forward would be the result of an unexpected break of the watermain.
