This week's night work on Vintage Way was slowed due to weather. The forecast is looking much better for next week though. We expect this work to continue from Vintage Way on Rowland Blvd and then to Rowland Way. Working hours will be 10 PM - 8 AM.

Mainline installation on Davidson Street is expected to begin on Monday 3/27/17. Construction will begin near the intersection of Louis Drive and Davidson Street as shown with the yellow highlighted area on the map below. One way traffic control will be setup around the work area with hold times of up to 4 minutes. Construction activities along Davidson Street are expected to last three to five days. Construction start time is 8:00am.

Due to encountering an unexpected utility on Louis Drive, construction activities are expected to be limited for several days next week. No Parking signs will be adjusted to provide residents with additional parking during the reduced construction activities. 

Paving Rowland and Redwood Blvd

Starting on Thursday 3/23 a paving crew will be performing the final paving over the trench sections on Rowland and Redwood Blvd. Below is a map to provide more details. The yellow line represents the area that will be paved this week. The blue-green line represents the area that pipe has been installed and is being tested. This section will be paved in the future once it has passed a hydrostatic test. If the weather cooperates, the paving crew should be done with this section by Friday 3/24.
