Construction Update June 9th, 2011

Sanitary Sewer - The End is Near!
 
Sewer line is getting close to the end!  Construction will continue between Siskiyou Street and Donovan Drive during the next two weeks.
 
Sidewalks, Curb, Driveways. - Henderson to Boulevard
 
The contractor will continue to prepare for pouring concrete for sidewalks, curb, and driveways.  This will take place between Henderson and Boulevard on both the north and south sides of Yelm Highway.
 
Boulevard Roundabout
 
Construction of the Boulevard roundabout is currently on hold due to some conflicts with underground utilities.  We will let you know as soon as possible when the contractor is planning on resuming this work.
 
 
Traffic Flow in General
 
Driving down Yelm Highway you probably have noticed the multiple crews at work.  Curb, sidewalk, and driveway preparation and concrete pouring, grading to prepare for new asphalt and sidewalks, sewer down the center of Yelm Hwy, sewer connections on the sides of the highway, sound wall installation, and even work all the way out east past Wiggins Road and the northern part of Boulevard for work related to the sewer; all have their effect on traffic.  Drivers can expect 30+ minute delays as the lanes are often shut down to one way traffic for periods of the day.
