Work for this week-Monday Aug 2d (Day 120)

Here is a rundown of work we can anticipate for this upcoming week:

New Castle/Charing Cross (ROXBURY Binder): The concrete contractor (Augelli) is anticipated to arrive on Monday to begin pouring driveway aprons and concrete curbing.

A couple quick points about the use of concrete curbing and for the aprons. First, concrete curbing is only being used in those areas of very flat roadway to give the asphalt company reference points as they put down the roadway surfaces. This gives greater assurance that the road will drain properly. There will be transition points where concrete changes to asphalt. The concrete will need 5-7 days to cure before it should be ok for vehicular traffic, so if your driveway is concrete, plan to park off your driveway for several days.

With the concrete work getting completed, we anticipate that the asphalt contractor will be coming into the Village within the next week or so after concrete is completed. At that point, we should see the binder layer of asphalt being put down on New Castle, Charing Cross as well as RoxBury Road.

Please note however that asphalt driveways will not be completed until after both layers of pavement are down.

Farwell Drive: Much of the pulverizing is complete, but there is still a few more stretches of roadway to finish.

Water main installation began in the 800 block of Farwell Drive on Friday. About 80' of water main was installed that day so starting this week, one crew will continue that installation. The other crew will move to service installations on Farwell as mains are tested and ready

Magdeline/Summit/McBride: The other pipe crew will be working on finishing storm and sanitary sewer work on these streets. There are also service laterals left to be installed on Magdeline between Butternut and Summit. The road crew will be working on road rebuilding.

MG&E Gas Main.....The Village is still anticipating MG&E completing a gas main installation on McBride as well as Farwell Drive. The MG&E crew has been busy on a project in another town.

This upcoming week should show good, visible progress!! We will keep you informed!
