The contractor has been on site since early July working 4 days a week, 10 hours a day. Work hours may change to 5 days a week, 8 hours a day, next week to accommodate daylight savings ending.The trail is now mostly graded and rocked. Bridge 2 and Bridge 3 concrete abutments are complete, 90% of walls complete, and 90% of storm piping is complete.The contractor is currently setting steel piles to support Bridge 1 concrete abutments. The abutments will support the 135′ long steel truss bridge across Middle Creek.The steel pile install should be completed by 11/8. Concrete abutments will then be formed and poured around steel piles to support the long bridge span.
Work still to be completed:
- Concrete curb and gutter in select locations
- Completing walls
- Completing storm
- Fence install
- Final/finish grading
- Trail paving
- Bridge Install
- Landscaping
The bridges…
Bridge 2 and Bridge 3 may get installed in December.
Bridge 1 (Middle Creek bridge) may get installed in January/February. This bridge requires the largest mobilecranes in the northwest to install.
More details to come on exact day and possible lane closures for bridge work. We appreciate everyone’s patience while this trail gets built, especially the residents along the path of the trail that must hear the banging of pile driving machine.
Let me know of any questions. Thanks.
