Oliver Street Project Update #5

In the past two weeks on Oliver Street, water services near 3rd Avenue were upgraded, a fire hydrant was relocated, and unused main line water valves were removed.

Work scheduled for next week includes replacing more water connections on Oliver Street, with work moving east from 3rd Avenue. The project is currently on schedule and on budget.

Works are expected to last several more weeks, and there will be intermittent periods of traffic disruption. Work is anticipated to be performed on Sundays during the day and Monday to Thursday starting at 7:00pm. In an effort to perform the work while keeping the downtown open and accessible, traffic and street parking on Oliver Street will be limited during the evening hours after 7:00pm while contractors are at work. While steps will be taken to mitigate disruption, schedules and traffic restrictions may change if circumstances require. The public is asked to exercise caution in the area of construction and to obey signs and the instructions of flagging personnel.
