Park Construction is continuing its fast pace of construction on Highway 12. Their pace, ultimately, has created some challenges for other contractors on the project. One such challenge is surfacing with some of the private utilities along the corridor. Xcel Energy (gas) and Mastec, a contractor of Frontier (phone), have been busy relocating their utility lines outside of the future roadway. By the early next week, Park Construction will have caught up to the private utilities in two areas. This conflict creates the very undesirable scenario that Park could have to suspend highway reconstruction in certain areas of the job until the private utilities are out of the way.
To avoid this outcome, Mastec and Xcel will be operating accelerated construction activities for the remainder of this week. Mastec specifically will start tomorrow with around-the-clock work on completing their new system. One of the impacts will be construction at the intersection of 3rd Street and St. Peter Avenue. At this location, Mastec will be completing connections of its new utility systems within a manhole located in the intersection. This construction will involve the use of a generator and lighting within the manhole and surrounding area 24 hours per day, supporting technicians completing the work. This effort will allow the phone utilities to be out of the way for Park Construction by early next week. Residents in the area of 3rd Street and St. Peter Avenue should take note of this increased activity over the next week.
Park Construction, general contractor for the Highway 12 project, will be shutting off the water in the area of 405 and 407 River Street South Apartments on Thursday, May 1 from 9 a.m. to 12 Noon for a scheduled connection of a new water main. Please adjust your routines and schedules to coincide with this temporary interruption.
