Beverly Construction crews began working weekends last month on the Read Boulevard Group D project in order to remain on schedule. Crews are using weekend work to address waterline and drainage installations throughout the project. In June, crews were able to complete work on Hauck Drive (Chef Menteur Highway to Dwyer Road) and Coronado Drive (Chef Menteur Highway to Dwyer Road) by working an additional weekend day.
Tie-in operations for the newly installed waterlines will begin this month. Residents will continue to be notified of work that will impact their access and/or cause disruption to their utilities.
The scope of this $3.3M Patch, Mill, Overlay and Incidental Road Repair project, designed by EJES Incorporated, varies by block but includes:
- Repaving the asphalt roadway from curb-to-curb;
- Patching the roadway with asphalt or concrete;
- Repairing damaged sidewalks and driveway aprons;
- Installing Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant curb ramps at intersection; and
- Replacing / repairing damaged underground water, sewer, and/or drainage lines.
Details of this project were first made available at the pre-construction public meeting. View a copy of the public meeting presentation and details about construction sequencing here.
