Admiral & King Jehu Sewer Project Update – June 13, 2022

TENTATIVE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES FOR ADMIRAL WAY 

• Crews may be finishing potholing for Utility crossings.
• Admiral Way is closed to thru-traffic. Local access to residences is provided. Please refer to the detour map below.
• The current plan shows work starting from the south end of Admiral Way and working north.
• Rock hammering will most likely begin Tuesday, June 14.
• Lateral staking is mostly current, but there are a few homes towards the north end of Admiral that have not been staked yet. You can tell the difference between the old and new stakes by height. The old stakes are short, and the new sakes are three feet tall with a green ribbon. Please reach out to me if you feel your lateral stake is in the incorrect location at this time. Please note that most lateral stakes are placed five feet offset (i.e., five feet closer to your home) from the actual termination of the lateral. This is to communicate to the contractors the true location of the lateral without having to remove the wooden stake.
• 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 AND KING HEZEKIAH WAY

• Finish repair work on the maintenance hole at King Solomon/King Hezekiah intersection has been rescheduled until further notice; an updated work schedule will be communicated via this weekly email when a date(s) has been secured.
• Crews are working to install the last maintenance hole on King Jehu this week. 
• Sewer main and lateral installation on King Jehu is ongoing.
• Traffic control measures remain in place.

PROJECT PHOTO

Below is a photo of asphalt removal on King Jehu. The excavator peels the pavement off with relative ease in preparation for rock-hammering and trench excavation.

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.

Admiral Way Detour (anticipated the week of 6/13)

King Jehu/King Hezekiah Detour (ongoing)
