Paving Finished for a while, and other matters

The first lift of asphalt has been placed between Henderson and Boulevard, but be careful, there are areas that have abrupt edges and sections of gravel.  Please follow the speed limit for your safety and that of the workers.

Boulevard to Rich Rd

The contractor will continue running smaller sewer lines from the main line in the center of the roadway to individual properties for this week and the next several weeks until completed.  This will likely reduce traffic flow to one-way during the course of the work, and will be in various locations between Boulevard and Rich Rd.

Boulevard and Log Cabin Rd Intersection

Puget sound energy will be out on Wednesday July 20th hooking up power to what is called a Remote Chemical Feed Station.  This facility provides chemicals to the sewer line, keeping down the stinky smells that would otherwise be pretty foul.  This work should be off the main roadway, but please beware of worker and vehicles in that location.

Other Construction Activities

As usual, the contractor will be constructing more of those missing sections of sidewalk and curb that had to be left out due to the many, many structures, pipe etc. that are in the way.  While the majority of the concrete could be poured and formed quickly such as with a curb machine, these locations take much more hand work and care to ensure a safe walking surface.There will be miscellaneous work on the manholes and sewer system, and side sewer installation east of Boulevard Road.

Tired of cones?  You will soon be seeing less of those as the road signs are put into place, especially those in the roundabouts. 

Work continues on the illumination system with mostly underground work.

It may seem that we mention very few construction activities going on during any week, but be assured, the above construction work is the tip of the iceberg; there is much more going on behind the scenes and off the road to reduce the traffic flow.

Work is continuing on the wall construction adjacent to Sten Village and across from the sewer pump station at Brassfield.
