Fontaine/Maury/JPA Water Line Replacement Update

Here is the schedule update for the Fontaine Waterline work. There have been some technical issues to resolve that have resulted in a slight delay to the work, but we are just about ready start.

Phase 1: (JPA Bridge/Maury)

  • 6/25/2012: The contractor will set up the traffic control for the night work to take place near the JPA bridge project.
  • 6/26/2012: Beginning at 9 pm, the night work portion will begin adjacent to the JPA bridge project site. The night work will last approximately 2-3 weeks. During the night work, traffic on Fontaine will be detoured around Mimosa to Stadium Road and back down Shamrock to JPA, as needed. When the detour is active, local streets will remain accessible, but the intersection of JPA/Fontaine/Maury will be closed to through traffic. The intersection will be reopened by 6 am the following morning.


Phase 2: (Fontaine from Westerly to Appletree)

  • 6/21/2012: The contractor will put up "NO PARKING" signs on Westerly near Fontaine and on Fontaine between Westerly and Summit. The parking restrictions will not begin until 6/25/2012 and will continue for the duration of the project, as needed.
  • 6/25/2012: Work will begin on Phase 2. The contractor will begin digging test holes. Work in this area will be during the day from 9 am to 7 pm.


We certainly appreciate everyone's patience and cooperation as we work to complete this difficult project as quickly as possible. I will continue to send updates to this distribution list as the project continues. Please let me know if you have been added to this email list by mistake or know of someone that should be added.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks
