Jennings, will continue site construction around the Whole Foods Market and along Route 1. Underground utility work to install storm drains, water mains, conduits, site lighting and sanitary sewers is proceeding in multiple areas on the site. Washington Gas and PEPCO continue to bring service to each new building. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Grading for the pervious pavement drainage system, under the Whole Foods parking lot, will continue. Installation of the new traffic signal at Van Buren St. and Route 1 is ongoing. Construction of the three new entrances from Route 1 into the development has been completed, except for final asphalt course and striping. Curb & gutter and base asphalt paving of the roads around the Whole Food Market is underway. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Construction of screen walls, seat walls, sign walls and other site hardscape structures in Gateway Park (buffer area adjacent to Route 1) and around the Whole Foods Market parking lot has begun. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The construction of a large permanent storm water management pond in the NE corner of the site has started.

The bridge construction work is significant and required the closing of the former ERCO plant parking lot between the Rivertech Court cul-de-sac and Lafayette Avenue.

This closure will continue until the new bridge is open – estimated to be in April 2017. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The initial construction activities include the relocation of existing electrical and gas utilities that run parallel to the CSX tracks.
