Admiral & King Jehu Sewer Project Update – September 19, 2022

TENTATIVE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES FOR ADMIRAL WAY

• Sewer main and maintenance hole installation is complete.
• Lateral excavation and installation is expected to be complete this week.
• Roadway preparation is ongoing.
• Paving is anticipated for the first week in October. Road access will be restricted to vehicular traffic during work hours on the paving day(s). Additional details will be communicated as paving approaches. A written notice will be given at least 48-hours in advance via paper flyer.
• Central Electric Cooperative is finishing up 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.

TRAFFIC CONTROL

The closure area (on the map below in red) and detour (blue dashed line) is shown below. 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.
