Paul Nelson's Timely Reminders About Road Closures 50th & Grange Project
The 50th Street and Grange Road Street Reconstruction Project started this week. As is typical, the first few days of a road closure and detour are messy. The contractor added additional signs to reduce confusion and better communicate the detours. Recall this project is scheduled for the entire summer. It includes water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer system improvements along with many pedestrian safety features. These include new wide sidewalks, ADA ramps and ADA push buttons at the new traffic signal. During most of the project the northbound off-ramp and the northbound on-ramp to Highway 100 from Grange Road will be open. Work is occurring in front of those so there will be times the ramps will need to be closed for contractor safety. Culvert Replacement Project
During the week of June 17, a contractor will be replacing two metal culverts under Interlachen Boulevard near the Interlachen County Club. The pipes are failing and could potentially cause flooding to upstream properties. Interlachen Boulevard will be closed to traffic. The contractor is scheduling the work over the entire week but hopefully operations will go quickly. These pipes both drain into a pond so that makes the replacement more challenging. The contractor must hold the water back with a small temporary dam in order to complete the work. The signed detour will be Vernon Avenue to Blake Road. |
