Day 9; Progress

The schedule for the construction company is that one pipe crew works Mon-Thur; another works Tues-Fri. This will always keep a crew in Village and progress will continue. Our Construction company, A-1 is from outside of the Madison area so their crews are staying over night in a local hotel.

Anyway, we had two pipe crews today working. The focus for ater main continued on the 400 block of Kensington; the other crew was working on Storm Sewer installation on Fisk Place at Lakewood Blvd.

For those persons who thought about trying to get through these areas, they soon found sections of road completely impassable. In trying to understand their work operations, I think you should plan that if/when they are in a specific area, we may find that route completely impassable. You may be able to drive up real close to where they are working, but you may not be able to get through.

That said, traffic signs indicate "No Thru Traffic"; yet, I ran into several drivers today who were trying to take Kensington to Fisk Place to go into the Upper Bluff, and another person trying to access the MBCC via Kensington. As they got close enough, they were soon turning around to go back. Save yourself the hassle and stay away from the active work zones.

For tomorrow, I think you can expect similar work. Water main coming down Kensington is approaching the Woodland Circle/Fisk Place intersection. Sewer main is still coning down Fisk, not far from Lakewood. Anticipate both of those areas being virtually impassable for tomorrow.
