May 5, 2017 N. Central Street Update – This past week, KUB’s contractor Adams and Sons, Inc., completed tie-ins to the new water main at the N. Central Street and Broadway intersection. This work was performed during overnight hours May 2-4 to lessen impacts to customers and traffic.
Crews also worked overnight Thursday into Friday morning as the new water main was installed through the N. Central Street/Baxter Avenue intersection. This work completes installation of the new water main on the section of N. Central between Dameron Avenue and Baxter Avenue.
Next week, testing procedures will begin on this section of new water main, followed over the next several weeks by service line connections, fire hydrant installations, and tie-ins to connect side street mains. The overall project includes installation of the new water main up to the N. Central Street/Woodland Avenue intersection, with completion scheduled for early summer 2017 (weather permitting).
The existing traffic pattern remains in place, with both northbound lanes and the northbound bicycle lane closed continuously for the duration of work on this section of N. Central Street. Traffic flow is maintained in both directions, however, with one northbound and one southbound lane shifting to the southbound side of N. Central Street. Southbound bicycle traffic is instructed to merge with vehicle traffic through the work zone. All turn lanes remain open in the N. Central Street and N. Broadway intersection.
Vehicle traffic is advised to remain aware of the ongoing presence of workers, equipment, traffic channeling devices, barricades, and signs in this area.
