Week of June 28-July 6
Work activity
• Fourth of July holiday: In recognition of the Fourth of July, crews will not be working beginning at noon on Thursday, July 2. They will return on Monday, July 6. The WW Clyde team will have a supervisor and traffic control specialist on call over the weekend should any needs come up around the work zone. The project hotline and email will be managed throughout the holiday weekend, as well.
• 200-300 blocks: Crews will begin demolishing old sidewalks in preparation for curb and gutter and new sidewalks.
• Pedestrian safety: Pedestrian crosswalks are open at 4th, 5th, 7th and 8th streets as an alternative to access businesses along Lewis Street or anywhere on the 400 block. Our team continues to see pedestrians not practicing good safety measures, jumping barricades and crossing U.S. 160. Our work zone is extremely active in several locations, and we want to keep everyone safe.
• Humane Society driveway: The project team will begin excavation at the main driveway to the Humane Society on Monday, June 29, to install a fire hydrant. This work is anticipated to take approximately three days to complete.
• Hot Springs Boulevard and the overlook parking lot: Hot Springs Boulevard is open to traffic, and the overlook parking lot is open. Pedestrian detours remain in place in several locations throughout the project limits.
• Lewis Street: The intersection closure at Lewis Street and U.S. 160 remains in place. Please utilize 4th, 7th and 8th streets as an alternative to access businesses along Lewis Street. The good news is that the complex utility line work will be completed by Friday, June 26. Crews have completed water utility work, wastewater utility work, stormwater, geothermal, gas and electrical work. Following the Fourth of July holiday weekend, crews will begin prepping base in the area for future paving.
