While the big construction equipment has been gone for a year from Pettibone, major costs are still being expended to bring it to closure. At tonight’s council meeting a payment of $1.4M will be approved that includes hold back funds and disputed billing items that were resolved in arbitration. This years budget includes $100K for restoration and $40K for a retaining wall.
First Draft 6pm
on the south side of BB Rd, east of Sharondale started today and will work east to Huntington, possibly Liberty, in order to meet the 2 year land rental. The county excludes utility work from that 2 year rental. They are adding top soil and grass seed, but expect to retouch next spring. If weather becomes a problem they will mulch to protect from erosion. Residents may want to remove debris and rocks so they aren’t covered over.
to driveways in Phase 1, no notice they were coming, target date was July 27, only 3 months late.
In preparation for the final course, the contractors are scraping the small bridge away from the drive aprons so now there will be a 3” bump as you drive in for the next few weeks until the final course is applied. Once again no advance notice was mentioned in the weekly status report or county twitter account.
in Phase 1 at Sharondale. Road completely blocked at times. Watch for workers waving people through red lights or oncoming traffic during green lights.
Huntington to Liberty, temp road is being removed, no advance notice given. Phase 1 to be complete Nov 1st. Phase 2 south side likely to winter over as Phase 1 West did.
South lane complete to Liberty, curb complete to Windy Hill, under drain complete to county line, ready for curbs. Liberty & BB Rd intersection done. When temp road removed, it would be possible to open BB Rd to Liberty. South side concrete drives done to Huntington, awaiting grass. Asphalt drives in Phase 1 West still waiting for final coat.
west of Huntington, south side, had their drives poured, they started before 7am and were still working after 9pm. ODOT has to ask permission for long work hours, BB Rd doesn’t. We received notice that our drives would be done over 3 months ago, and would be out of them for a day. They started a week ago, we should be able to use our drives Wed, 9 days later. Asphalt drives in Phase 1 are still waiting for the leftovers of Liberty Rd paving. Hopefully we’ll see grass seed soon, no word on when mail boxes will be put back. As for Phase 2 south side, it will be amazing if those drives are done this year.
Drives on south side just west of Huntington are finally being done causing BB Rd to be blocked at various times until Sat. the 27th. Liberty south of BB Rd continues to be closed to northbound traffic, but often is blocked southbound too during construction hours. NO project status report in last two weeks. At council - a resident complained of speeding cut through traffic in the Woodbury subdivision and councilman Richmond read a letter from a resident saying how well the project was going. Asphalt drives in Phase 1 remain incomplete.
Excavation for southbound lane past the high tension power lines, divided road way to Dorset, stabilization of road base and under curb drainage past Liberty. Sidewalks and aprons on north side to Windy Hill. Utility movement near Huntington complete (2 yrs late), restoration of south side to Huntington to start soon advising to Stanek at Safety mtg. Liberty down to one lane south of BB Rd and often delayed during construction hours.
