Test pit digging on Fifth and Grove streets
slated for April 12
City of Dover public works employees and a city contractor will be digging test pits at seven locations on Fifth Street and Grove Street on Tuesday, April 12, starting at 7:30 a.m.
The work is part of the Fifth Street and Grove Street Reconstruction Project, currently in the preliminary information gathering stage. The test pits will allow the design consultant to help assess the condition and location of underground utilities.
Residents and businesses in the area should anticipate lane reductions and intermittent traffic delays where workers are digging test pits. Parking will be prohibited in the immediate area around the test pits sites. The work is not expected to impact Chestnut Street or Sixth Street traffic. See the below map for approximate test pit locations.
As the project develops, the City of Dover plans regular email updates to help residents and business plans for the construction disruption.
