DATE: Thursday, September 21, 2023

On Friday, September 22, between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., crews will be paving portions of the shared-use path along the west side of Pine Street at its intersection with Electric Avenue (near Burlington Electric Department) and the driveway to the Burlington Farmers Market. Access to businesses will be maintained. This work is taking place in advance to accommodate public events on Saturday, September 23. Crews will also be paving residential driveways along Lyman Avenue, Ferguson Avenue, Home Avenue, and Batchelder Street.

Crews will be onsite on Saturday, September 23, starting at 6:30 a.m. to pave the remaining sections of the shared-use path along the west side of Pine Street. This work is anticipated to be completed in the early afternoon.



Access to businesses will be maintained via a secondary driveway or by paving half at a time to allow for maintenance of traffic via a single lane. Access to residential driveways will be restricted between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00p.m. Impacted property owners and tenants have been notified. 

TRAFFIC IMPACTS:  

Unless otherwise noted, work will be restricted to between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., all roadway and lane closures will reopen during the evening hours and on weekends, and access to residential and business driveways will be maintained. Flaggers will be present to assist motorists throughout the work zone. Businesses will remain open! Motorists should anticipate rough and uneven gravel driving surfaces throughout the project limits.

Lakeside Avenue between Pine Street and the westerly driveway of 128 Lakeside Avenue (the Innovation Center) will be intermittently reduced to a single-lane with alternating one-way traffic to facilitate the installation of curb, sidewalk, shared-use path, and conduit within the duct bank.

Sections of Pine Street between Kilburn Street and Lakeside Avenue will be under single-lane closures with alternating one-way traffic controlled by flaggers and instances of lane shifts to facilitate curb installation and stormwater work along both sides of the roadway. There is the potential for the temporary loss of segments of on-street parking to facilitate lane shifts. Two lanes of traffic will be maintained along Pine Street each day between 6:30 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. Construction activities along the east and west sides of Pine Street will be staged to provide an appropriate distance between work zones to allow for the maintenance of traffic along the entire length of Pine Street.



Flynn Avenue between Foster Street and the railroad tracks will be under intermittent shoulder and single-lane closures to facilitate the installation of the sidewalk. Sidewalk installation will require reductions in driveway widths. Access will be maintained via a single lane. Impacted property owners and tenants have been notified.

CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES:

Please note that paving operations and curb installation are subject to weather and subcontractor availability. Construction activities along the east and west sides of Pine Street will be staged to provide an appropriate distance between work zones to allow for the maintenance of traffic along the entire length of Pine Street.

Work will continue along Lakeside Avenue between Pine Street and the westerly driveway of 128 Lakeside Avenue (the Innovation Center) as crews continue reconstructing the roadway. Crews will begin installing sidewalk along the south side and shared-use path along the north side. Crews will complete any remaining conduit and duct bank work along Lakeside Avenue.  

Work continues along Pine Street between Kilburn Street and Lakeside Avenue. Crews will be paving the shared-use path along the west side on Friday, September 22, and Saturday, September 23. During the week, crews will continue prepping for the installation of the curb along the west side of Pine Street working toward Lakeside Avenue. Another crew will follow behind to topsoil and clean up along the newly installed curb and shared-use path. There is the potential for crews to begin prepping for the installation of curb along the east side of Pine Street starting at Kilburn Street and working toward Lakeside Ave. Crews will continue installing and rehabilitating drainage infrastructure along Pine Street.

Crews will install sidewalk along portions of Flynn Avenue between Foster Street and the railroad crossing.

Crews will be paving residential driveways along Lyman Avenue, Ferguson Avenue, Home Avenue, and Batchelder Street on Friday, September 22.



Early next week, crews will install curb along portions of the Champlain Parkway between Home and Lakeside Avenues. This work will take place off the roadway. There is the potential for crews to start installing curb along Lakeside Avenue between Pine Street and the westerly driveway of 128 Lakeside Avenue (the Innovation Center).
