Paving for Progress Construction Update | 9-8-21

The remaining pavement on 20th Street SW, between Chandler Street and the Jefferson High School entrance, will be placed this week.

Next week, residential driveways will be paved and finish grading of yards will begin. Also next week, the contractor will install new residential water services on Chandler Street. This process will follow the Chandler Street loop up the hill, starting at the westerly intersection with 20th Street and working toward the water tower driveway. There will be brief water service interruptions to individual homes during this time. Homeowners will be notified in advance via door hanger or direct notification.​

When the grading and water connection work is finished, the contractor plans to remove the existing Chandler Street SW loop pavement going uphill, from the westerly intersection of 20th Street to just past the water tower entrance. After base preparations are complete, new pavement will be placed and residential driveways constructed. Temporary pavement will be placed to provide transition between existing and new pavements, preserving access to homes along this stretch. Driveway access will be briefly disrupted for individual homeowners while new driveways are constructed. The contractor will be in contact with those affected regarding the timeline for this work. Finally, finish grading and sodding will be performed at all areas disturbed by this season’s construction.

All of this work is expected to be completed by the end of October, marking the end of 2021 construction for this project. The remaining construction along the Chandler Street SW loop will resume in 2022 when Spring weather permits.
