The project has hit another significant milestone, installation of the first layer of asphalt pavement. Once the asphalt pavement is installed, the amount of dust will be greatly reduced and a smooth driving surface will be provided.

The contractor will perform manhole adjustments over the next week. As this process occurs, vehicles will need to maneuver around additional barrels and barricades to avoid hitting the raised manhole covers.

The contractor will begin planting trees as well next week. The contractor will only plant the trees during this construction season. The remaining shrubs and perennial plantings will be planted in the Spring of 2018 to provide a better chance of survival.

If all goes as planned, a majority of the construction will be completed around mid-October.
