Week 7

Week of September 28:

Progress continued despite a very rainy week.  The crew on Yuba Street continued to place 27-inch sanitary sewer from the Murphy Street intersection to Cedar Street.  Manhole structures were placed along the route of the sanitary sewer.  The crew reached the Murphy Street intersection by the end of the week and prepared for the 16-inch water main relocation that is required at this location.  Yuba Street will remained closed to thru traffic while this work continues.

        

The crew at Pine and Western finished placement of the 8-inch sanitary sewer in the parking lot (Cheese Lady) between Pine and Terrace and connected all service laterals to the new main.  The crew focused on restoration the remainder of the work in preparations for concrete and asphalt paving.  The concrete crew was on site early Saturday morning and placed curb and gutter, sidewalk, ADA ramps, and driveway approaches.  The roadway will likely be closed to thru traffic for another week and a half until top course paving is complete.

       

We have been monitoring the surcharging of Spring Street over the last two weeks and have seen approximately 0.13′ of settlement at one of the testing locations with minimal settlement at the remaining two.  We will continue to monitor that settlement over the next couple weeks to ensure we are getting an adequate amount of settlement to provide for a durable and lasting roadway.

Upcoming Week of October 5, 2020:

Water disruptions are anticipated for a few customers (who have been notified) near Yuba and Murphy Street at the beginning of the week as crews from JMC construct new 16-inch water main and prepare for pressure and bacterial testing.  The disruption may extend for a period of 3-days.  The crews will continue with sanitary and storm sewer construction in Yuba Street.

The base course of paving at Pine and Western is anticipated to be completed by Wednesday.  The top course paving at Fair Avenue will also be completed at this time and the re-opening of the roadway (Fair) will occur following that work.
