CONSTRUCTION UPDATE NOTICE 

 

Weeks of: March 30, 2015 and April 6, 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.
Installation of the Hiker/Biker trail will start. The installation of the
retaining wall along the Northern property line will be completed. 

 

Lane Closures: 

Currently WSSC is planning the installation of a new water line under Route
1 to replace the line that recently ruptured. This work is unrelated to our
development but has been placed on a fast track as the result of the recent
failure. The work of installing the new storm line under Route 1 is on hold,
awaiting resolution of a conflict with an existing Verizon service. We
anticipate resolution of this conflict within the next few weeks. Once this
design conflict is resolved, the installation of the storm system will take
about six weeks. During that six weeks, there will be a work area
established in Route 1 that will close off three lanes during non-rush hours
and on weekends through March (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. 

 

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. 

 

. 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 actual construction of the CSX Crossing 

 

. Six to twelve month look-ahead - 

o Start interior fit-out of Whole Foods 

o Finish widening of Route 1 

o Opening of Gateway Park 

 

Work Hours: 

Work activity will be taking place Monday - Sunday between the hours of 7
a.m. and 7 p.m. However, work on the State highway will be restricted to
9:00am to 3:00pm.
