Work Shift Double shifts, five days per week (M-F), ending at 10 p.m. with Saturday as a makeup day. 2. Traffic There will be ongoing 10-minute stoppages and single-lane closures on S.R. 980 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. for overhead bridge work. Upper Laurel Hill Road remains closed. 3. Earthwork Major excavation work will continue at the eastern end of the project near Laurel Hill Road. This activity will take place during day and evening shifts. Blasting will occur near North Reissing Road and will generally be performed around noon. The contractor will give a 30-second horn blast, wait 30 seconds and repeat. There is one minute between the time of the first horn until the actual blast occurs. Usually five to 10 minutes after the blast, and upon review of the blast area, the all-clear siren will sound. Blasting may be required for the excavation of Pond 3B along the east side of S.R TraffiC stoppages may be required. 4. Roadway and Bridge Work Concrete pavement is expected to begin within the next two weeks on the west side of S.R Trucks delivering material will access the site from Johns Avenue at Sherlock Circle. The concrete deck placements for the S.R. 980 bridges will continue next week. The next bridge deck concrete placements are planned for Tuesday, September 18, and Thursday, September 20. Concrete trucks will access the site from S.R. 980 under the bridge. A flagger will be present. This work is scheduled to begin at 4 a.m. Concrete cannot be poured on a hot deck surface. The deck surface is much cooler early in the morning for this work to be done. The S.R. 980 deck placements will be performed periodically throughout September and October. Roadway concrete can be poured throughout the day. However, sawcutting of the newly poured concrete must occur within a specified time after pouring, which will most likely be late evening. Sawcutting is necessary to control cracking as the new concrete cures. 5. Gas/Oil Wells Work on Well B-24 near Laurel Hill Road is expected to begin in October. 6. Noise/Dust/Runoff Control Two water trucks are working throughout the project area to control dust during dry periods. A street sweeper is on-site and will be deployed to clean public roads as needed. SECTION 55B TARGET COMPLETION DATE ESTIMATED SUMMER 2019
