March 5, 2009:
On Tuesday of this week the 12" water main work began from Arkansas to Louisiana and it was completed this week. We shifted traffic to the east side on Wednesday, from Arkansas to Iowa, so that removals could begin Thursday.
Be on the lookout next week on Wednesday, March 10, for the closure of one southbound right lane, from Arkansas to Iowa. This lane will remain closed through the following weekend for paving and saw cutting, and will reopen before the Monday rush on the 15th.
Please note that Florida will be closed intermittently on the west side, between now and next Wednesday the 10th, when it will be closed until reopening early the week of 15th. The west side of Iowa will reopen early the week of the 15th as well.
The next big pour happens Thursday, March 11th–on the west side from Arkansas to Iowa–and we hope to see many of you out on the site! We will be pouring the Florida and Iowa intersections on Friday, March 12th. We also anticipate opening the east side of the Iowa intersection on Saturday, March 13th.
On Thursday, March 18th, we anticipate the roadway being back to its normal and final configuration, with two lanes in each direction and parking on both sides, from Iowa to Arkansas. Center median work, decorative corner work–at Iowa and Florida–will begin on Monday, the 22nd.
Please remember that all work is weather dependent. |
