It is anticipated that the relocation of public utilities will be completed next week, allowing reconstruction of the intersection to get fully underway. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Construction activity over the coming weeks is planned to take place in two phases. The first phase following on utilities and demolition will be to pull-back curbs to reconstruct the four corners of the intersection. The existing traffic pattern is not planned to change during this activity but will remain in the current configuration. The second phase will be to construct the center of the traffic circle. At this time, the contractor will implement changes to the traffic pattern as needed to accommodate grading and construction activity. No road closures are planned, but lane shifts and uneven roadways should be anticipated. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Pedestrian movement through the intersection will be limited.
