Note regarding our Twitter feed: Unless there is work that will directly impact mainline Yelm Highway traffic, our first posts will now be in the 8:00AM hour. We will still alert you to traffic delays as they happen and if there is work such as signal shutdowns in the 7:00AM hour. There will be sewer work going on that will cause delays and we will alert you to that.See the page about our Twitter feed for more info.
Also, as a bit of advanced notice, with the turn of the weather, work will necessarily have to slow down and cause some chance of the project extending into next year, not TOO far though. There is still quite a lot of work to do, but the contractor will do everything he can to meet the project time-lines.
Yesterday crews began switching the sewer systems over to the new sewer
line and for the first time, the sewer pump station went into use. Sewage
flowing from east of Brassfield makes it's way into a 14 foot wide wet-well,
which, when the sewage reaches a certain height gets pumped up-hill towards
Henderson. Crews will continue switching over the various sewer systems this
week and through the first week of October.
Beginning next week the remaining storm drain installation will continue east of Boulevard. (It looks like we'll need it, watching the pouring rain we
received today!)
What is happening with paving? Miles resources will be needing some good breaks in the wet weather in the coming months to finish up. We usually have a little break, so stay tuned!
