The contractor is nearing completion of the underground utility work between Myrtle Street and Division Street and between Monroe Street and Michaelson Street, so we are currently discussing what segment to go to next to begin reconstruction activities. We should have a better idea of the future work activities by the time of next week’s update email. There is a possibility that the first full closure period of access to North Hudson will occur as early as mid-July, so stay tuned to these email updates!
The contractor has informed us that some individuals have been attempting to drive over the freshly placed concrete curb between Myrtle Street and St Croix Street. The curb (and other concrete items) needs about 5-7 days of cure time before it is opened up to traffic. Since this week will see the replacement of concrete driveway aprons on portions of the project, it is important that everyone knows that you cannot drive on fresh concrete! Anyone who is caught driving on concrete before it is opened to traffic will be responsible for the cost of replacement of that concrete.
There will be an in-person project update meeting coming up soon – tentatively scheduled for July 7th at 6:00 pm (location to be determined). I will send out a special update email when the details of that meeting are finalized. There will be no virtual meeting this time.
