What Should You Expect During Construction?

  • Construction crew workdays will normally last from 7 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. These long days will enable the contractor to complete the project as quickly as possible.
  • Active construction pits will be opened sequentially along Fairwood Boulevard for microtunneling and inserting new pipes. Pits will probably measure about 15 feet wide by 25 feet long. Pits will be secured each night using fencing, steel plates and other measures to keep you, your kids and your pets safe.
  • Access to driveways along Fairwood Boulevard might be restricted at certain points during the day. Access will always be restored no later than 7 p.m. and can be provided intermittently during working hours. You will get at least one week’s notice when access to your driveway will be restricted.
  • Lane closures and temporary traffic diversions will take place near construction activities. Directional signs and traffic flaggers will help direct local traffic around these obstacles.
  • The entrance to 151st Avenue Southeast may be closed for several weeks (timing to be determined).
  • Construction noise can be expected during the day.
