The $15.3M Hollygrove, Leonidas Group A project began construction in April 2020. Contractor Wallace C. Drennan, Inc. is replacing and repairing sewer lines along the project and will move into deeper sewer repairs as water levels subside. Some sewer line work has been halted on this project due to high river levels and heavy rainfall, which limited the ability to certify sewer repairs. Work is resuming in those areas as the river levels decrease. Crews have continued to work on roadway removal sitewide and asphalt repaving along Hollygrove Street.

Roadway removal and grading began in the 700 block of Dublin, the 1100, 2500 and 2700 blocks of Joliet Street, and the 8900 block of Nelson Street this month.  Crews also started creating the forms and prepping for concrete pours in the 3700 block of Live Oak and the 9500 block of Palm streets. Sewer line point repairs continued along Palm and Hollygrove streets, and the binder layer of asphalt was scheduled for installation in the 2600-2700 blocks of Mistletoe Street. Binder is one of the final layers of asphalt in roadway restoration. 

In March, Drennan Construction, LLC installed asphalt in the 2400 and 2500 blocks of Mistletoe Street and started the repaving process in the 1900 block of Dublin Street. Crews also began pouring new concrete sidewalks and driveway aprons throughout the project footprint. Roadway excavation began in the 8900 blocks of Apple and Nelson and was followed with installation of the binder layer of asphalt. The binder is one of the final layers of pavement restoration and residents are able to drive on it.

The Hollygrove, Leonidas Group A project continues to make progress. Additional sewer line issues were identified, and crews began making those repairs in early February. In addition to laying new wearing course (upper layer in the roadway) layers of asphalt throughout the project area, Drennan Construction Industries, LLC completed the intersection work required at Birch and Cambronne streets. Excavation operations continued, along with forming new Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant curb ramps at intersections.

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.
