Work for Feb. 17-21:

As of the end of the day Friday (2/14/20), the contractor will have installed PVC pipe, backfilled and temporary paved from the southern terminus of the project on 31st Street up to a point about 150 feet south of 14th Street.

The digging of a second tie-in pit has also started between 8^th and 9^th Streets on Bay. The purpose of the pit is to provide access to the existing 20" and 12" DIP lines so that tie-in connections can be made. The pit will be there for approximately three (3) months to accommodate the schedule for the completion of all other pipe work and the delivery of tie-in equipment (valves, wet taps, couplings, line stops). In the meantime, the pit will be secured with temporary fencing and covered with a steel plate.

Tuesday, 2/18/20, one of the contractor's crews will progress northward on Bay Avenue from the current stopping point, south of 14th Street. 

Traffic:

The contractor will not be working on Monday, 2/17/20, President's Day. Over the three-day weekend, (2/15/20 – 2/17/20), Bay Avenue will be open to two lanes of traffic with lane shifts around stored materials except for between 8^th and 9^th streets. 31st Street is closed to traffic between Simpson and Haven Avenues for the indefinite future.

Next week, Bay Avenue will be open to local traffic only from 18th to 14th Streets until 14th Street is crossed. Once 14th Street is crossed, Bay Avenue will be closed, except for local traffic, from 14th Street to 9th Street. The contractor's other crew will be doing work at the two tie-in pits.

Middle School Activity:

No work is planned next week on Bay Avenue in front of the Middle School.
