CAP2308 Major Road Improvements

Vinsetta Boulevard:

This week the contractor is cleaning the sewer structures along the work zone and beginning lawn restoration. Final paving is tentatively scheduled for the week of July 3rd, after the holiday.

Normandy Road:

The contractor is continuing work on water main installation this week, between Crooks and Linwood. The contractor has installed the water main pipe and is working to connect the additional elements like gate valves and fire hydrants. Once complete the new water main will undergo testing before the final connection is made to the existing system.

Normandy Road will be closed to thru traffic throughout construction. Residents with driveways on Normandy will still be able to enter the construction zone via the side streets to access their property. Businesses should direct their patrons, employees and deliveries to use Coolidge to access Normandy Road to minimize conflicts with construction work.

Lincoln Avenue:

The contractor will be working on lawn restoration this week and finishing the new median island. Once complete they will re-stripe the roadway and open the road.

CAP2305 Concrete Repair Program

This week the contractor is continuing work in the Phase 4 & 5 neighborhoods, working on the second halves of the project streets. The contractor has also begun work prepping for new speed hump installations on Buckingham Road, which will be installed in the next few weeks.

Work in Phases 1-3 is substantially complete.

Work will only be performed on one side of the street at a time, to maintain access for residents throughout construction. Only the worst sections of concrete pavement will be removed and replaced, not the entire roadway. If driveway access will be affected, residents will be notified the day beforehand via doorhanger.

The map below shows the project streets highlighted in LIGHT BLUE.

 During the sewer work, Forest will be completely closed from Alexander to house #524/527, and residents within this section will not have access to their driveways.

On N. Wilson, the contractor will begin lawn restoration work. Final paving will occur next paving session.
