A quick Thursday update on the project schedule for the end of the week of 7/28:

We're expecting to see the concrete subcontractor on site later today, Friday and Saturday. Rain delayed their work on a separate project and there we delayed showing up to York.

We know it's frustrating to see waits during the project, but we do not expect delays to this phase. We'll let you know if conditions change or if do expect a delay. The remainder of this phase will have two more periods of low-to-no work, once for concrete cure time, and the next for blacktop time limitation between paving two layers and striping the road.

Thanks for your continued patience as the work progresses!
