Admiral & King Jehu Sewer Project Update – August 1, 2022

TENTATIVE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES FOR ADMIRAL WAY

**Work will occur on Saturday, August 6, in order to maintain the project schedule. We apologize for any inconvenience**

• Rock hammering is ongoing on Admiral Way.
• Intermittent lateral excavation and installation are ongoing.
• Bend Broadband and Central Electric Cooperative are also doing some necessary utility work.
• Admiral Way is closed to thru-traffic. Local access to residences is provided. Please drive slowly, as there is a lot going on. If there is heavy machinery in the way of local access, please be patient and make eye contact with the crew. The operator will move the excavator within a few minutes. Please plan your drive time accordingly and expect slight delays while driving through the construction zone. See the detour map below.
• Minor tree trimming and clearing in the right of way for the main line or lateral installation will continue as needed. 

TENTATIVE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES FOR KING JEHU WAY AND KING HEZEKIAH WAY 

• Landscape restoration and final cleanup on King Hezekiah and King Jehu will occur over the next couple of weeks (there has been some delay in landscape scheduling due to excessive temperatures).
• The Notice of Operational Completion (NOC) letters were mailed on Friday, July 29.
• Thank you all for your patience as we completed this important project!

TRAFFIC CONTROL

The map below shows 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.
