Some of the first work being done is the falling of trees and clearing of vegetation along the roadway. Safety rules dictate that traffic must be stopped while trees are being cut down if there is a chance of them landing in the roadway. This has resulted in single lane closures and significant traffic delays. The travelling public is encouraged to find different routes to their destination, or plan for 30+ minute delays.
Water pipe has been delivered and soon the contractor will begin installing it starting at Henderson Blvd.
Demolition of three houses will also begin soon, along with clearing of the adjacent property.
Once again, traffic impact will be significant. Please allow additional travel time or look for a different way to get where you are going. Consider using Intercity Transit. Route 68 runs through the project area. The 10 existing bus stops in the project area will continue to be served as best as possible but are being made into ‘temporary stops’ that can be moved by the contractor as construction could disrupt or impact any given area and a stop moved to safer location.
