Week 9

Week of October 12:

Construction on Yuba Street continues as crews place 27-inch sanitary sewer towards Spring Street at depths of up to 20-feet below existing grade.  A planned relocation of the 16-inch water main at Cedar Street across the existing 48-inch storm sewer was completed and the main  is currently undergoing testing prior to connection to the existing main.  Crews also started placement of storm sewer in several locations as utility work on Yuba is nearing completion.

        

 

        

 

         

Many have noticed the large sand deposits on Spring Street which add weight to the roadway with the intention of providing advanced settlement.  We have started to see the intended settlement of the roadway on Spring Street with readings indicating approximately 2-inches of settlement thus far.  The design for this area was to achieve 3-inches of settlement and coupled with utilizing lightweight aggregate (following removal of the surcharge) would provide for a prolonged life of the roadway that currently sits on 40 to 50 feet of sawdust.

Upcoming Week of October 19:

Utility work should be completed this week on Yuba Street pending the weather conditions.  JMC will begin preparing the roadway for concrete curb and gutter, aggregate base, and asphalt paving.

A crew will tentatively start sanitary sewer and water main work on Spring Street (Yuba to Western) beginning the week of October 26.
