The contractor had already planned to be down Thursday through Sunday, resuming work on Monday.

Here is a report of what was going on last week from our Field Inspector:
Last week the prime contractor, Woodworth and Co. had three to four separate crews per day working on new water and storm water installation. Pilchuck, natural gas contractor, was working near Orvas Court installing a new 8" gas main, working toward a tie-in point at Henderson Blvd. A subcontractor for Qwest phone, Rainer Valley Construction, continued to work near the Boulevard and Yelm Highway intersection. Woodworth will be starting the HDPE, sewer force main installation, the Monday following the Thanksgiving holiday. There will be no utility work this Saturday, 11-27-2010, but it is planned to resume the following week. Last Friday Woodworth stopped their pipe installation at mid-day and dropped back to install a more permanent asphalt trench patch in place of the temporary daily cold mix. This was a good plan given the forecast for snow.
Woodworth will not be working for the remaining of the week due to the inclement weather and the Thanksgiving Holiday. Please continue to travel through the work zone safely, especially with the recent challenge of snow and ice.
Thank you for your continued patience and cooperation during our project.
