800 North Update

In my email box this morning:


The south half of the 800 East intersection remains closed for utility work on the storm drain and water lines, as well as the signals. Work continues on the center medians and landscaping.

Construction Activity Update – 7/28/08
The following are planned activities for the coming week. Please note that due to weather, project conflicts, or equipment/supply issues, schedules are subject to change.

800 East Intersection: The south half of the 800 East intersection is closed while crews finish laying the water line and storm drain. These will be tested next week. Questar will finish their work on the gas line this week. Work will begin on the foundations for the new signals. Left turns are not allowed at this intersection. It is anticipated that this intersection will reopen by the third week of August.
800 East to 1000 East: Two lanes of traffic are running in both directions on the north half of the roadway from 700 East to 1000 East. This week crews continue to removing curb, gutter, and sidewalk on the south side and prep the area for the new concrete.
Left Turns: Left turns are allowed at 400 West, State Street, and 400 East.
Medians: The center medians are in place from 400 West to 100 West. Crews continue to work in the center to pour the concrete for the medians from Main Street to the east. These medians will be raised and landscaped. Please exercise extra caution as crews will be working in the center of the road for the next several weeks.
Landscaping: Crews continue to lay cobble rock, install sprinklers, put down topsoil, and prepare for sod on the north and south sides of 800 North. Landscaping work will begin in the center medians as soon as the concrete is set.
Pedestrians on 800 North: Although 800 North is becoming increasingly pedestrian friendly, please continue to exercise caution and use common sense when crossing the road. Do not enter areas that are marked off by cones or barrels.
