Day 60 (Thu) & Day 61 (Fri)

Today (Friday 6/4) we sit with another rain day with No construction work being conducted in the Village.

Here is an update with current status of construction on various roads/areas:

The storm system work at the Beach has been completed and the new outfall has been installed. To help clean up that area a bit, we took down the orange fence and cut down the long grass.

Woodland Circle: There is a very little amount of storm sewer work left to be completed. What remains is the installation of two storm inlets on the northern leg. Woodland has had both of the blocks straight off of Kensington already reconstructed. There will be additional road construction to be completed before asphalt, but this indicates, for the most part, the completion of pipe work!! The part of Woodland Circle that parallels Kensington still needs to be rebuilt; which means with this rain, it is still pretty soft. Early today, Village staff went out to shore up some soft areas giving residents access to their driveways. The balance of that road reconstruction will take place early next week. But, all residential services are now put onto the new main.

The majority of all old water main in the lower bluff project zones, has now been shut down, pipes cut and capped. The exception is Roxbury.

Roxbury: The Sanitary sewer system work has been completed. The pipe crew began installation of water mains. We anticipate, with good weather, that the water main will be completed early next week. While that water main is filled and tested, the pipe crew will move to the upper bluff until the three residential services are ready to be completed on Roxbury. This should be completed by the end of next week.

With the completion of Roxbury pipe work by the end of next week, the focus will then be toward road pavement. To get to that end, we need additional prep work to be completed on driveways and sidewalk areas.

The concrete contractor is expected back in the Village on Tuesday of next week. If you are on Kensington south of Oxford or if you are on Woodland with a concrete approach/apron, you should be seeing that work completed next week.

UPPER BLUFF: We had anticipated the crews to get to the upper bluff this week, but that really did not happen for any substantial pipe work. We do anticipate that happening next week however. The current plan is to focus work on New Castle and Charring Cross first.
