September 11th - Construction Update
The two lanes of concrete paving in each direction have now been completed all the way through the project. The contractor has installed the colored cross walk near Honeysuckle Drive. There has been other ancillary concrete work that has occurred to complete the roadway and the tie ins to the adjacent streets and access points.
The contractor is continuing to pour the concrete in the median areas for the colored splash guard. This work will continue into next week.
The asphalt transition from the new four lane section to the existing two-lane section with a turning lane on the west end of the project has been completed. The asphalt patch into Creekside Commons has also been completed.
The electrical contractor has started installing the streetlight bases on the north and south side of the Willow Street from the east project limit to just west of
Creekside Ave. The flashing beacons have been installed at the cross-walks that have been completed at Shebal Ave and Creekside Ave. Upcoming electrical work will include continuing light base installation and electrical works to connect to the permanent power.
The topsoil work behind the curb and sidewalk has been completed from the east project limits to Creekside Ave. With this work complete the sprinkler systems have begun installing/restoring their systems in preparation for final
seeding.
Other work to occur in the coming weeks will be the landscaping in the center median areas along Willow Street. This work will include boulder outcroppings/walls, concrete edging, plantings, and trees.
In the coming week Willow Street will be opened up to traffic through the project. Only one lane in each direction will be opened up to traffic similar to the section from Creekside Ave to the east end of the project.
Once traffic has been restored through Willow Street there will be some work occurring on Willow Street (273rd) just west of Minnesota Ave. This work will close down the full width of the road from the west side of Minnesota Ave to the west about 325'. This work includes extending the distance of the center turn lane to help with traffic congestion at the intersection. Additional details and information will be made available as this work gets closer.
