Project Update for N. Central Street

June 2, 2017 N. Central Street Update – This past week, KUB’s contractor Adams and Sons, Inc., completed side-street tie-in connections on East and West Baxter Avenue. The work on W. Baxter Avenue, originally scheduled for late last week, was postponed until overnight June 1-2 due to sub-surface conditions encountered during initial excavation. Crews also began installation of the new water main north of the Baxter Avenue intersection following the Memorial Day holiday.

Crews will continue to progress north toward the Woodland Avenue intersection with installation of the new water main over the next several weeks. Once the new main has been installed and successfully tested, Adams and Sons will focus on service line connections, fire line/hydrant installations, and final side street tie-ins.

Please note that street parking is prohibited on both sides of N. Central Street between Baxter Avenue and Woodland Avenue for the duration of the project.

The overall 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.
