Admiral & King Jehu Sewer Project Update – June 27, 2022

TENTATIVE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES FOR ADMIRAL WAY

• Rock hammering continues on Admiral Way.
• Admiral Way is closed to thru-traffic. Local access to residences is provided. Please refer to the detour map below.
• Lateral staking should now be current or pending relocation if you have been communicating with me directly about that. 
• Construction survey staking is ongoing; please do not move or remove any wooden survey stakes. 
• Minor tree trimming and clearing in the right of way will occur ongoing as needed. At the end of the project, the crews will tidy anything that was cleared or trimmed and still looks “rough.”

TENTATIVE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES FOR KING JEHU WAY KING HEZEKIAH WAY

• Paving is currently scheduled for July 6 on King Hezekiah only. Door flyers will be delivered a minimum of 48 hours in advance.
  • PLEASE PLAN TO PARK YOUR VEHICLES OUTSIDE OF THE CONSTRUCTION ZONE ON THIS DAY. VEHICLES NEED TO BE MOVED OUT OF THE CONSTRUCTION ZONE BY 7:00 AM ON WEDNESDAY, JULY 6.  
  • You will be unable to drive on the roadway during paving activities. You will be able to drive on the roadway once paving is completed on Wednesday evening (approximately 6:00 PM).
• Paving is anticipated on King Jehu for the week of July 11. More information will be provided as it approaches.
• Finish repair work on the maintenance hole at the King Solomon/King Hezekiah intersection is still pending until further notice; an updated work schedule will be communicated via this weekly email when a date(s) has been secured.
• Lateral installation on King Jehu is ongoing.
• Traffic control measures remain in place.

PROJECT PHOTO

Below is a photo of road base grading on King Hezekiah in preparation for paving. The blade drags rock along the roadway to make a smooth, even terrain. The machine is equipped with GPS to ensure grading accuracy.

TRAFFIC CONTROL

The maps below show the closure area (solid red line) and detour (blue dashed line). Local access will be provided for homeowners living on the closed streets. You may experience minor delays when driving through the construction zone. If an excavator is in the way, make eye contact or wave, and they are typically good at moving out of the way to let traffic pass. Please proceed with caution when driving in the construction zone. We appreciate your ongoing patience.
