I guess even with the slight delay in the work at Bank and Somerset, they still claim to be on schedule. We'll see if they actually get everything done before snowfall.
Quote:
Reconstruction of Bank Street, between Laurier Avenue and Somerset Street, started on the night of May 26. The first week included night-time work only to install new valves and isolate the existing watermains in the intersection of Somerset and Bank Street.
Daytime work started May 31 with the closure of the Somerset Street intersection. The underground work in the intersection is estimated to take approximately 9 calendar days. The Somerset Street intersection should be reopened to traffic by June 9. Once the intersection is reopened to traffic Bank Street, from the north side of Somerset Street to the south side of Laurier Street will be closed to vehicular traffic. Work will then proceed northward from Somerset Street on the underground works within the roadway. Fencing/Barriers will be installed along the curb line to separate the pedestrians from the work zone within the roadway.
Work is proceeding well to date and we are still expecting to have construction completed by mid November 2008.
