Construction Update 9/15/2022

Phase 1

• The remaining Lynn Ave concrete repairs are scheduled to occur during the week of 9/19.
• We encourage residents to help keep the grass moist. The more you help water the higher quality turf restoration you will get.
• Tips to help grass grow can be found here.

Phase 2

• The concrete sidewalk installation is scheduled to begin on 9/15 and be complete by 9/20.

Phase 3 – W 42nd Street

• The southern half of W 42nd St between Alden Ave and Grimes Ave will be reclaimed on 9/16 to accommodate the dewatering needed for the storm sewer work.
• To maintain a dry working environment for underground utility work, the contractor has installed a dewatering system on W 42nd St to lower the groundwater. These pumps will need to run continuously for an anticipated 4 weeks to facilitate the utility installation.
  1. The generator needed to power these pumps is anticipated to be activated on 9/16.
• Crews will begin installing a temporary above ground watermain on W 42nd St on 9/19. Temporary watermain testing will occur before crews hook homes up to temporary service.
• Kusske construction will be reaching out to homeowners to set up temporary water service. They will need access to the home to finalize this switch to the temporary water service.
• W 42nd Street utility work is scheduled to begin late in the week of 9/19 between Grimes Ave and Crocker Ave.
• Please check your front door daily for time sensitive notifications.

Phase 3 – Grimes Ave between W 42nd St & Morningside Rd

• Grimes Ave concrete work is scheduled to be complete on 9/15.

Phase 4 – Crocker Avenue

• The large diameter storm sewer installation is anticipated to be complete on 9/16.
• Sump drain installation is scheduled to begin early in the week of 9/19. Unlike the large diameter storm sewer, this underground pipe is shallow and installation is anticipated to take 3 days. Anticipate a loss of driveway access up to 45 minutes when the sump drain installation blocks your driveway. Check your front door for a notification of this work.

Phase 5 – Morningside Road and Grimes Avenue south of Morningside Rd

• Phase 5 is tentative to begin in October. Based on the Xcel Energy delays on West 42nd Street, it's possible Phase 5 may need to be postponed until spring 2023. Many factors will contribute this, including Xcel Energy progress, weather, favorable conditions for utility work on West 42nd Street, etc. Stay tuned for future Phase 5 updates on BTE.
