• Crews are presently working just past the car wash and expect to have that portion of the duct bank installed by the weekend.
• Aug. 7-9: Crews will be doing testing on the duct system that was installed. Expect to see crews working around both manholes.
• Aug. 26-Sept. 19: Crews will begin pulling the transmission equipment between the two manholes. There will be large equipment and flaggers at either end of the manholes during the first week. We expect single lane restrictions during the first week of Aug. 26. After the first week of Aug. 26, we don’t expect to have as much public impact regarding the construction, perhaps a van and a work truck near the Oak Tavern.
• Expect minimal parking restrictions the first week, and crews will not be blocking any driveways or parking lots. Curb repairs are underway.
• We will better be able to determine full restoration/repaving after the testing this week.
