Central Street/Fifth Avenue Update – This week, KUB’s contractor Adams and Sons, Inc., completed installation of the 16-inch water main on West and East Fifth Avenue, where the eastbound lane remains closed between N. Gay Street and Lamar Street (westbound lanes remain open). Testing of the new main and side-street water main tie-ins are scheduled for early January in this construction zone. All traffic control plans and detours remain in effect as set up, and commuters are reminded that there are no left turns onto eastbound Fifth Avenue while these traffic measures remain in place.
No construction activity will take place between December 24, 2016, and Monday, January 2, 2017. Construction activities will resume on Tuesday, January 3, 2017. All existing traffic control measures will remain in place during the holidays for public safety. Due to the holidays, and no changes to the existing traffic control plan during this period, the next blog update will be posted on Friday, January 6, 2017. Please see the current N. Central Street traffic map in the right hand column of this blog for more detailed information.
December 22, 2016 W. Jackson Avenue Update – This week, KUB Underground Construction Crews began Phase 3 water main installations. The work zone has shifted to the west, from the area immediately west of Knox Whiskey Works and extending to the Southeastern Glass Building. This section of W. Jackson Avenue is closed to through traffic. Access to driveways and parking areas will be maintained. Parking ingress and egress to the Southeastern Glass Building is maintained from Broadway. Sidewalk access is maintained on the south side of W. Jackson Avenue.
The current traffic control plan for Phase 3 will remain in place through mid-January 2017 as remaining utility work and paving are completed. Crews are also scheduled to return to make service line connections in the areas near Sweet P’s, The Standard, and Knox Whiskey Works the first week of January. The service line connection work may require temporary lane closures only in the immediate area where excavation is occurring. Crews will not work Friday, December 23, Monday, December 26, and Monday, January 2, in observance of the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. All existing traffic control measures will remain in place during the holidays for public safety. Due to the holidays, and no changes to the existing traffic control plan during this period, the next blog update will be posted on Friday, January 6, 2017. Please see the current W.
