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.
Residents will continue to be informed ahead of any work that will involve utility disruption and / or impact their parking and access to their streets.
This $5.6M project was designed by Atkins, LLC and the scope of work varies block by block but includes the following:
- Patching the roadway with asphalt or concrete;
- Replacing damaged portions of concrete with new, level concrete;
- Repairing damaged curbs and gutters;
- Repairing damaged sidewalks and driveway aprons;
- Installing Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant curb ramps at intersections; and
- Replacing / repairing damaged underground water and drainage lines.
