WHAT:  Night waterline work (replacement and relocation). EB Broad St. lane closures between Adams and Jefferson Sts. Overnight closures are being coordinated to provide the least amount of disruption to traffic. Work is weather- and progress-dependent.

WHEN:  Beginning 9 PM Tuesday, August 1, 2017 (subsequent nights permitted between 9 PM and 5 AM) and ending Friday, August 4, 2017 at 5AM. Progress may require some work extend to daytime hours.

BRIEF:  Depending on proximity to the work zone, those in the area could hear portions of the construction work. All work is being done within permitting guidelines, including allowed noise levels. Water service may be disrupted overnight while this work occurs.

It is important to note that field conditions can change rapidly and Lane’s goal is to work safely and swiftly to minimize impacts to the areas where they work. The schedule is progress- and weather-dependent. Pedestrian pathway detours and street lane closure signs will be posted accordingly. Please follow construction signage and be aware of construction workers and vehicles within the work zone(s). Pedestrians are advised to follow work zone signage in the sidewalk area. Travelers may notice temporary barriers while this closure is in effect.

BACKGROUND: During construction, the public will continue to have access to businesses, organizations and services located along the Project route.

A construction hotline is active at 804-980-0084, providing updates on construction and expected impacts.

Lane Construction will proactively minimize disruption to businesses and residents during construction. Any activity that would impact parking, loading zones, access, utilities and other business-related functions must receive approval from VDOT who will ensure that continuous access will be provided to all businesses at all times. All Project team members are committed to providing prompt information to ensure a smooth construction phase for businesses, residents and patrons of the region as part of the overall success of the Project.
