DATE: Thursday, 5/25/23

TRAFFIC IMPACT:



One-way alternating traffic and lane closures will be in effect during nighttime operations throughout the week of 5/30/23. Delays may occur.

Motorists and motorcycles should exercise caution when driving on any milled roadway due to the grooved surface.



CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES:

This week:

The contractor began paving the first layer of leveling course pavement on U.S. Route 7 between Bostwick Road and Executive/Bay Roads. Rain did hamper one night of production this week. Temporary pavement markings were applied on the new leveling course. 

Signal work continued outside of the roadway during the day at Bostwick Road/Marsett Road (pulling electrical wire and placing the new controller cabinet).

Crews continued work replacing the overhead “street signs” on the signal arms between Webster Road and Allen Road.

Next Week: Paving of the leveling course will finish next week if needed.

Any remaining sign work will be wrapping up next week.

Rehabilitation of drainage and sewer structures will occur as needed on Route 7 between Bostwick Road and Hullcrest Road/Lakeview Drive.

Crews will be erecting the new traffic signal poles, mast arms, and related signal heads at the Bostwick Road/Marsett Road and Falls Road/Harbor Road intersections. Drivers may experience those signals in a “flash” condition during installation. 

Temporary pavement markings will continue to be painted as required.

Holiday: In observance of the Memorial Day holiday, crews will be off of the roadway by 6:00 a.m. on Friday, 5/26 and will not be working Saturday, 5/27 through Monday, 5/29. Work will resume on Tuesday night, 5/30/23.

The holiday break will likely lead to an added Friday night construction shift on 6/2/23 to make up the lost time.

Motorists and motorcycles should exercise caution when driving on the milled roadway due to the grooved surface and the dust it generates. Temporary pavement markings are in-place.
