Week of June 6th  – Work shifts to EAST side of Tower Drive

It is anticipated the contractor will move to the east side of Tower Drive from Navy Boulevard to Aviator Lane starting Monday, June 6^th. This will be a significant project milestone as a majority of the work on the west side of Tower Drive will be completed.

The shifting to east side of the Tower Drive will also mean the businesses along this side of the street will be directly affected.

It is anticipated concrete sidewalk removal will begin on Monday, June 6^th. Concrete sidewalk installation adjacent to the buildings will occur the same week during the late afternoon and evening hours. Businesses will be contacted individually regarding timing of the work to be completed, temporary access following the concrete sidewalk removal, and restrictions to doorways during concrete sidewalk installation.

Saturday Work

Due to the construction schedules and completion timeframes, the contractor will begin working most Saturdays following the Memorial Day Weekend. The contractor has been granted permission by Village staff to begin work at 8:00 AM on Saturdays to avoid the busiest times of the day. The contractor anticipates being completed with their work by 3:00 PM.
