Underground utility work is expected to begin the week of July 9th.  Next week, the contractor will begin mobilizing equipment, delivering materials, saw cutting the pavement, and other minor work items in preparation to start heavy construction.

Topp Lane
Work Performed Last Week, June 25th to June 29th

·         Site Clean-up prior to July 4th Holiday

The underground utility portion of the project will be completed by the July 4th Holiday.  The contractor will spend some time early next week performing general site clean-up and miscellaneous tasks to prepare the site for roadway reconstruction. 

Next Thursday, the contractor is anticipating to begin the roadway reconstruction phase of the project. This work will include removing the remaining asphalt pavement, excavating the existing base materials as needed to acquire a stable roadway base, installation of new aggregate base materials, new concrete curb & gutter on both sides of the roadway, and new asphalt pavement.  The length of time this work will take will be based on how much existing material needs to be removed to get to a stable base.

During roadway reconstruction, the entire width of the roadway will be excavated during the day. It will be difficult to travel along Topp Lane.  Driveway and roadway access will be restricted during working hours, but restored at the end of each day. Additional information will be provided next week.

Thanks again for all your understanding as the project moves into the next phase of construction and the various inconveniences that you will experience.

Have a safe and enjoyable July 4th Holiday.

During the water service replacement, water to individual buildings will be shut-off for approximately 2-3 hours while the transition from the old service to the new service is made. The contractor will notify each building regarding the approximate time and day of the water shut-off prior to turning off the water. A notice will be placed on the front of each building the day prior to the service being replaced. It is anticipated the water service replacements will take 1-2 weeks to completed.

We appreciate your patience during construction. Over the past several weeks, a significant amount of debris has accumulated along the roadway. We worked with the contractor to ensure the area was cleaned-up and made more orderly.
