Day 82 (Fri) Thru Day 91 (Sun Jul 4th)

Happy 4th of July! I hope many of you enjoyed the Fest on the 4th activities today!! Unfortunately, the heavy wind, causing big waves on the lake today, made the Village Fireworks display unable to take place. A new date will be identified soon.

The same weather system may cause some problems in the early part of the week for our construction. Lets recap where we are heading this week.

Lower Bluff: Wow.....yes, the day has arrived!! We are scheduled to have the majority of the construction zone in the lower bluff paved (Binder) starting on Monday. Roxbury is not quite ready yet but Kensington, Cambridge, Fisk, and Woodland Circle will be get completed if weather permits.

Please note that there are 2 layers of pavement--the first layer (binder) and then the final layer. Tentatively, the final layer would be scheduled for week of 7/13. After the first layer is completed, the landscaping restoration will then take place. When the asphalt is put down, it just needs to be rolled to be made ready to be driven on by automobiles. There should not be any extended period of time that you can not drive on the newly paved road.

Also in the lower bluff, additional prep work will be taking place in the Roxbury corridor and although we are not anticipating getting the asphalt down on Roxbury, with an unplanned delay, maybe it can get done.

Upper Bluff: New Castle and Charing Cross are ready to get rebuilt; we hope to have the road crew free and working on that rebuild by the middle of this week.

Water Main installation will continue on McBride. The connection was made at the McBride/Summit intersection and main installation was almost near the New Castle intersection mid afternoon on Friday.

Hopefully, the weather treats us well this week and the paving contractor works with no delays.
