Progress continues to be made on the 2019 Road Improvement
Project. Updates for specific project areas are below:
Update as of 11/08/2019 at 2pm
Due to low
temperatures and contractor schedule conflicts, no paving work was performed on
the Road Improvement Project this week. Striping was completed along
Guerin Road.
Work is
complete on all streets south of Route 137 except for punch list items
(touch-ups, repairs, removal of extra driveway bricks). Landscaping remains to be
completed along Hanlon Road, but all other work is complete. Please contact us if there are any outstanding
issues.
Reigate Woods – We are waiting for the
unseasonably cold temperatures to pass. When we have an idea on timing,
we will provide an update on schedule. As of now, we are targeting the
week of the 18th. If you have any concerns regarding the work
adjacent to your property, please let us know so that they may be addressed.
In Reigate Woods, during
installation of the surface layer, the asphalt will need to set up after
rolling prior to being opened to traffic so as to not mar the surface.
Some driveway and side-street access will be limited near the paving operations
for a few hours after placement to permit the asphalt time to cure. The
Village will send an announcement in advance of the surface layer of paving,
and if you have any reason to need ingress/egress during the paving operations,
please coordinate in advance with Lisa. We anticipate surface paving will
be completed over a period of three days.
Herky Drive
Access Improvements
Herky
Drive, located in the business district, is now closed with the reopening now
scheduled for the week of November 11 due to the unseasonably cold
temperatures. Until then, vehicular access to Herky Drive will be through
the Bradley Road Extension at the signalized intersection of Route 176 and
Bradley Road.
Thank you for your patience during construction & continuing to keep vehicle speeds down through the construction zones for
everyone’s safety. Please remember to keep windows closed while work is in progress due to dusty conditions.
