Project Update:
Morena South & Middle Pipelines

On Sunday night, April 28, the contractor will set up additional traffic control on Clairemont Dr. that will expand the work zone up to the Ute Dr. intersection. For safety reasons, this expanded work zone will be placing the intersection traffic signal on flashing red until it is deemed safe by traffic engineers to return to normal use of the traffic signal. 

Then on Monday, April 29, the contractor will begin working north on Clairemont Dr. towards the Ute Dr. intersection. While this happens, one lane of vehicle traffic will be maintained in each direction and the drop off and pickup lane used by Marston Middle School on Clairemont Dr. will be maintained open. Please see the attached graphic that represents this traffic control setup. A Resident Engineer will be on site during the first few days of the new traffic control setup to observe arrival and dismissal times and help minimize any impacts. Working hours are between 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to excavate and install pipeline in the road, and between 4:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. to weld the pipeline. 

We're estimating that it will take approximately 2 weeks for the work to reach the Ute Dr. intersection after the work starts on April 29. Work within the Ute Dr. intersection will require traffic closures during a weekend in order to accommodate construction and traffic. These plans are still under development, but once they are finalized I will provide another update to you all.
