Admiral & King Jehu Sewer Project Update – July 25, 2022

TENTATIVE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES FOR ADMIRAL WAY

• Rock hammering is ongoing on Admiral Way.
• As you may have already noticed, the intersection of Admiral Way and Westview is temporarily closed due to excavation limits. We understand the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience. 
• Lateral excavation and installation are ongoing.
• Bend Broadband is also doing some necessary utility relocation 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.
• Lateral staking should now be current. Please reach out to the project contact ASAP if you still feel your lateral is not in the correct location.
• Please do not move or remove any wooden survey stakes.
• 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

• Traffic control has been restored to normal conditions; the signs will be removed over the next week.
• Landscape restoration and final cleanup on King Hezekiah and King Jehu will occur over the next couple of weeks.
• The Notice of Operational Completion (NOC) letters are expected to be mailed out approximately by the end of the week.

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.
