CONSTRUCTION UPDATE NOTICE 

 

Weeks of: February 16, 2015 and February 23, 2015 

 

What to Expect On-Site the Next Two Weeks: 

During the next two weeks of work, the General Contractor, L.F. Jennings,
will continue construction of the Whole Foods Market and continue with site
utility work. 

 

They will also continue removal and haul-off of excess soil and rubble. 

 

The installation of the retaining walls along both the Northern & Southern
property lines will continue. 

 

Lane Closures: 

As the work of installing the new storm line under Route 1 is being
performed, there will be a work area established in Route 1 that will close
off three lanes during non-rush hours and on weekends through February
(weather permitting). The three lanes of Route 1 (two northbound lanes and
the center turn lane) will be closed periodically between the hours of 9am
to 3pm to allow for the installation of the storm water pipe. Traffic will
be diverted to a single southbound lane and a single northbound lane
utilizes the lanes on the far west side of Route 1. The work plan has been
approved by the State and all safety measures required by the State will be
implemented. Conflicts with existing utilities have temporarily stopped the
progress of this storm drain work while a revised plan is prepared. 

 

Future Plans: 

. One to two month look-ahead - 

o Continue all of the above work but start an additional building to provide
new retail to the area. 

o Start utility infrastructure throughout the east side of the site 

 

. Two to six month look-ahead - 

o Start additional retail buildings 

o Start installation of a traffic signal at Van Buren St. & Rt.1

o Advance construction of the Hiker/Biker Trail 

 

. Six to twelve month look-ahead -

o Finish widening of widening of Route 1 

o Opening of Gateway Park

a.m. and 7 p.m. However, work on the State highway will be restricted to
