This month, TKTMJ crews continued repairing concrete walkways and began new parking surfaces as part of the Breakwater Drive Improvement Project. Crews resumed work this fall after receiving approval from FEMA to increase the project scope to include parking lot and walkway rehabilitation work. The expanded scope extended the final completion date into March 2021, weather permitting.  

This month the Department of Public Works (DPW) and its inspectors continued pre-pour inspections on the West End Group A infrastructure improvement project. These inspections ensure everything is properly constructed prior to placement of the final layer of concrete. Concrete pours on Regents, Kennison and Roy streets are expected to be complete by early February, weather permitting. The project is approximately 80 percent complete and on target to wrap up in the spring.

In January, crews from Hard Rock Construction Co., LLC began installing new concrete curbs and gutters along Central Park and East Park Place, and the wearing course  (one of the final layers of roadway restoration) of asphalt was laid on North Park and Middle Park Place. Overall the project is more than 70 percent complete.   

The Hollygrove, Leonidas Group A project is making significant progress. Sewer line work is substantially complete, and pavement restoration work activity has increased throughout the project area. Crews began laying the bunder layer of asphalt (one of the last layers of asphalt installed for roadway restoration) in the following blocks in January:  2600 General Ogden; 8900 Belfast; 8200 and 8600 Zimpel; 900 - 1100 Dante; 800, 1200, and 1500  Cambronne; 1300 and 1700  Monroe; 8900  Jeannette; 8500 Birch; 8800  Green; 1800 Hamilton; and 2500 Joliet.
