3rd Ave Improvements

This weekend (Oct 17-20) we will continue installing the new, permanent water main on 3rd Ave between Virginia and Stewart. We do NOT expect to work while the No Kings March is happening, but will resume construction after the event concludes. See the schedule and map below:

Friday (Oct 17) 7pm to Saturday (Oct 18) 7am

We will close fully close 3rd Ave between Stewart St and Virginia St. (in the map above, this is the blue and orange hash-marked area)

Saturday (Oct 18) 7am-9am

We will close fully close the intersection at 3rd Ave & Virginia St for two hours. After 9am, we will reopen the road for full access. During those two hours, local access will be allowed from approaching streets (on the map, the orange diagonal grid box is the Virginia St intersection, and the streets leading to it are orange and blue hashmarks)

Saturday (Oct 18) 7pm to Sunday (Oct 19) 7pm

We will (again) close fully close the intersection at 3rd Ave & Virginia St for two hours. However, local access will be allowed from approaching streets 

Sunday (Oct 19) 7pm to Monday (Oct 20) 5am (if necessary)

We will reopen the intersection at 3rd Ave & Virginia St, but will keep 3rd Ave closed between Stewart and Virginia St. (i.e., the blue and orange hash-marked area)

Next Week (Oct 20 – 26) 

Once we complete our water main pipe replacement, we plan on cleaning and flushing out the newly installed pipe starting next week. We will also rebuild concrete vaults under the street surface and sawcut panels on the sidewalk limits. You can expect restricted nighttime access to the east side of 3rd Ave between Stewart and Virginia St from 7 PM until 7 AM. 

We will not host our weekly Q&A Session next Tuesday (October 21), but will resume our regularly scheduled meetings on October 28. See you there!
