Riverdale Park Station
CONSTRUCTION UPDATE NOTICE

Weeks of: September 12, 2016 thru the week of September 19, 2016

What to Expect On-Site the Next Two Weeks:
The General Contractor, L.F. Jennings, will continue site construction in multiple areas on the site. Washington Gas Light (WGL), Verizon, Comcast, WSSC and Pepco will bring utility services to each new building. New road construction east of 46th Street to connect to Maryland Avenue is ongoing. The final asphalt topping course and striping of roads and parking areas will be completed before the end of the year on the western half of the site. The park adjacent to Route 1 (Gateway Park) is nearing completion. Bio-soil storm water retention devices are being installed throughout the site. The sidewalk and road work along Maryland Avenue, at the southeast corner of the site, has started. Fine grading for 119 townhome lots is ongoing so the townhome builder can start construction of these units this fall. Conduit and/or pipe installation for Washington Gas Light (WGL), Verizon, Comcast and Pepco services to each townhouse lot is ongoing. The first lots are being turned over to the townhouse developer in September. Construction of three new commercial buildings (#1, 2 & 4) is well underway. Tenant fitout work in Building #3, for spaces other than Whole Foods Market, has started.

CSX Crossing:
The bridge construction requires the closing of the former ERCO plant parking lot between the Rivertech Court cul-de-sac and Lafayette Avenue. This route has been used for years as a "short cut" from Lafayette Avenue to M-Square. This closure will continue until the new bridge is open - estimated to be in the third quarter of 2017. Initial activities will include installation of sediment controls, driving of piles and excavation for the bridge foundations. Pile driving will generate noise around that area. The pile installation will start early October and continue into early December.

Whole Foods Market:
Tenant fitout work inside Whole Foods Market has started. This construction is being managed by Whole Foods Market. They estimate that construction, stocking and employee training will take 9-10 months from the time construction work commences.

Hiker/Biker Trail:
The Hiker/Biker Trail has been deeded to MNCPPC's Department of Parks and Recreation who will manage and maintain the trail. They expect to open the trail for use by the public once they determine that site conditions are suitably safe from dangers associated with the immediately adjacent construction activities.

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 (Route 1) will be restricted to 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
