Construction Updates - Week Ending October 8, 2021
La Grange Road/31st Street Water Main Replacement: This week, Lindahl dug out the western half of the north alley and prepared the new sub-base for the concrete sub-contractor to frame and pour the new surface. Unfortunately, this week's rain hampered progress. The sub-contractor began removing the old sidewalks on La Grange Road, south of the BP station. Today they will complete the removals and begin framing for the new sidewalks. We hope the rain holds off next week to get the sidewalks and alley poured with fresh cement.
Meadowcrest Road/Woodside Avenue Repaving Project: Lindahl's sub-contractor began removing and replacing the curbs and aprons on the west sides of Meadowcrest Road and Woodside Avenue. Progress was slightly delayed this week due to the rain. The contractor is framing and pouring concrete today and expects to finish next week.
