What to Expect On-Site the Next Two Weeks: 

During the next two weeks of work, the General Contractor, L.F. Jennings,
and their subcontractors 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. Grading for the pervious pavement
drainage system, under the Whole Foods parking lot has started. Washing Gas
has begun the gas main installation from Route 1 into the site. The widening
of Route 1 is underway including new concrete curb and gutter placement
along the east side of the highway. Installation of the traffic signal will
follow shortly thereafter. 

 

Construction of the Building 2 Garage footings and retaining walls has
begun. Screen walls, seat walls and other site hardscape structures in
Gateway Park (adjacent to Route 1) will begin after Building 2 garage
retaining walls are completed. 

 

The contractor has started installation of a 48" drainage culvert pipe under
the CSX railroad tracks. Once this culvert is completed (estimated date is
11/13/15), the construction of a large storm water management pond in the NE
corner of the site can begin.
