Update March 10, 2017

West Project 

Mainline pipe installation will continue S Novato Blvd. on Monday, and continue for one or two more days. We are doing our best to keep traffic moving. Please be courteous and respect our flaggers and crew. They want you to get home safely just as quickly as they do!

The crew will be focused on the bike path re-opening and subsequent work will include main line installation onto Entrada Dr. 

Bike Path Closure Extended to 3/17/17

The S. Novato bike path closure will continue through Friday, March 17. While we apologize for any inconvenience, the shuttle service running from Entrada to S. Novato at Redwood Blvd. will continue. 

The hours of operation will be 6am to 8pm, and shuttles will continue to make round trips about every 20 minutes. 

East Project

Mainline installation will continue along Vintage Way. Some more hard rock was encountered this week which slowed progress, but we are hopeful to get out of it soon. Next up will be a shift to night work for the intersection of Vintage Way and Rowland Blvd. 

Work on Entrada Drive

You will see Ghilotti Construction “No Parking” signs on Entrada as early as Monday, March 13, 2017. This is the surefire signal that work is coming! Current schedule shows work continuing for 10-12 business days on Entrada Dr. starting March 15, 2017, then continuing East on Ignacio Blvd.

Crews will start installing pipeline from the cul de sac near Dollhouses, Trains, and More and continue north along Entrada Dr. There will be parking restrictions and possible hold times for through traffic of up to four (4) minutes, but there will always be a way in and out. Please plan to give yourselves a few extra minutes to come and go during our work. Flag down a worker in a vest if you need assistance.

Intersection of Redwood Blvd and S Novato Blvd

Work will be taking place within the intersection of Redwood Blvd and S Novato Blvd on Wednesday 3/8 and Thursday 3/9. Traffic will be impacted. Flaggers will be working to get everyone through as quickly as possible, especially during the morning commute. Thank you for your patience.

Bike Path Closure

Thankfully the weather has given us the break we needed to start the bike path work. Our plan is to close the path at 7:00AM Monday, 2/27 at which time shuttle service will start.  The locations for shuttle pickup and dropoff will be a section of the parking area on S Novato Blvd and the far east end of Entrada; see Google maps attached.  The shuttle schedule will run from 7:00AM to 11:00PM Monday, 2/27 and then from 5:00AM to 11:00PM daily for the two week closure period which is scheduled to end on 3/12.  After the full closure period, the shuttle will run weekdays from 7:30AM to 5:00PM for approximately 2 additional weeks for the path work to be completed.  During this time the path will be open after hours and on weekends.
