South Knox Natural Gas Project

August 31, 2018 UPDATE – Pipeline – Cleary Construction’s subcontractors will continue with right-of-way restoration next week. Restoration is approximately 80 percent complete as of the end of August. Restoration of all pipeline installation areas is expected to be totally complete by mid-September. Primary restoration efforts next week will be focused on the area between Henry Haynes Road and West Marine Road.  Next week, subcontractor crews will implement lane closures of a short section of the below roadways between the hours of 7 a.m. - 5 p.m., on Tuesday, September 4, as final roadway restoration work is performed following natural gas distribution system work in the area:

·  230 Block Tipton Station Road

·  130 Block Henry Haynes Road

·  130 Block West Marine Road

Crews will maintain an alternating lane of traffic in each work zone while restoration is performed. These roadways will not be impacted at the same time. Crews will begin on Tipton Station Road and move to the other work zones as restoration is completed.  Appropriate signage and flaggers will be on site to assist with traffic control. Follow-up advisories will be issued as necessary.

Gate Station – KUB contractor Cenergy has completed approximately 40 percent of the concrete foundations for the new South Knox Gate Station as if the end of August. Work will continue onsite next week with prefabricated piping deliveries and installation of buried conduits. Motorists should continue to use caution when traveling in the area near 304 Tipton Station Road as construction continues and heavy trucks enter and exit the work area. Heavier-than-normal truck traffic is expected during the week of September 10 as Cenergy is scheduled to deliver three large equipment skids to the new gate station site.

Additional note – KUB’s natural gas supplier, Enbridge, will continue to work in its right-of-way to support installation of the new gate station. This work is approximately 90 percent complete as of the end of August.

Crews will not work on Monday, September 3, in observance of Labor Day.
