June 6th:
Contractor has completed the pipe replacement work and is moving on to pavement and lawn restoration. Contractor over the last couple of weeks has been working on paving restoration work along the project. Last week and this week he has working in Leland Avenue. Rain has prevented work the last couple of days.
Week of June 5th: Contractor plans on completing the paving restoration work in Leland Avenue possibly by Friday June 9th. Contractor will move to Clyde and start the pavement restoration work. Clyde will require some areas to be leveled with pavement and others will require milling before the full road width final paving will be placed. Contractor plans on working this Saturday to complete the pavement restoration on Clyde. While the Contractor is working on Clyde, vehicle traffic will be limited to facilitate the work. After the new pavement is installed the Contractor will keep the road closed to vehicle traffic for a minimum of 1 hour, to allow the mix to “cool”. This will prevent possible rutting of the pavement from vehicle tires when the mix is “hot”. Contractor will return to install driveway paved aprons in driveways where required to provide a smooth transition.
Week of June 12th: Contractor is scheduling Christy full road width paving restoration for Monday June 12th, provide weather cooporates. Christy has been milled to accept the full road width paving placement. As with previous work we are requesting that cars again be parked on Metropolitan prior to 8:00 to facilitate the paving work. After the new pavement is installed the contractor will keep the road closed to vehicle traffic for a minimum of 1 hour, to allow the mix to cool. This will prevent possible rutting of the pavement from vehicle tires. Contractor will return to install driveway paved aprons in driveways where required to provide a smooth transition.
Columbus: Gas company was scheduled to start the gas main replacement on June 6th. We will reach out to the gas company to find out the duration of that work. Once we find out the estimated completion date of the gas install, the West Union Contractor will schedule the Columbus pavement restoration after that.
Brook Street: The pavement restoration for this road will be full road width. The schedule for this road work has not be set. It may occur when Columbus is ready for pavement restoration after the gas main install.
Chestnut Street : Road restoration has not been scheduled and will depend on completion of the other paving work and the weather.
Loam and Seed: Contractor has completed some loan and seed work along the project. We will review the entire project and identify areas that required attention.
Finish Road Restoration: Permanent paving work will be completed during the spring/summer season. This will allow settlement in the trenches, if any, to occur before finish paving.
