Work is substantially complete with the exception of minor punch list work.

The contractor has completed the pavement markings (on Lehigh) and constructed the sidewalk along the east side of the library. The contractor is scheduled to complete the remaining landscaping work (topsoil and sodding) and punch list work next week.

The contractor will continue working on the remaining landscaping work (topsoil and sodding), pavement markings and punch list work this week and into next week.

The contractor removed the pavement at Washington and Dewes Thursday and poured the concrete pavement yesterday. The concrete needs 72-hours to cure, so a test will be done on Monday morning to determine if the intersection can be reopened.

Washington-Dewes Intersection

The contractor is intending to replace the entire pavement in the intersection of Dewes and Washington Streets. The pavement will be removed and new high yield early strength concrete will be placed which requires a minimum cure duration of 72 hours before traffic can travel on the new pavement. The Village has coordinated this work with the summer school bus routes and the waste hauler to minimize the impact. The intersection will be barricaded and additional information signs will be posted one block away in each direction. The dates (weather dependent) selected for this work are August 4 (saw-cutting), August 5 (pavement removal) and August 6 (new pavement placement). The intersection will be reopened no later than August 10.

The Village appreciates everyone’s cooperation and patience during this project.

Strike Has Been Resolved

The strike was resolved last week and new contracts between the unions and contractors have been signed and are in effect.
