Jennings, 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. Washington Gas and PEPCO continue to bring service to each new building. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Grading for the pervious pavement drainage system, under the Whole Foods parking lot, will continue. Installation of the new traffic signal at Van Buren St. and Route 1 is being completed. Construction of the three new entrances from Route 1 into the development has been completed, except for final asphalt course and striping which will be completed this Spring. Curb & gutter and base asphalt paving of the roads around the Whole Food Market is underway. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Construction of screen walls, seat walls, sign walls and other site hardscape structures in Gateway Park (buffer area adjacent to Route 1) and around the Whole Foods Market parking lot has begun.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The construction of a large permanent storm water management pond in the NE corner of the site has started. Washington Gas Light (“WGL”) has completed the relocation of a gas line running along Rhode Island Avenue to the west of the railroad tracks and is now reconnecting the lateral lines into the new installation. The work will impact traffic from Wells Run to the Pittcon facility. The installation of a new storm drain outfall pipe under Rhode Island Avenue from Wells Run to the site has begun. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>CSX Crossing: </b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Work will soon begin on the much awaited new CSX crossing at Riverdale Park Station. The bridge construction work is significant and required 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 April 2017. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The initial construction activities include the relocation of existing electrical and gas utilities that run parallel to the CSX tracks. This relocation has started with the demolition of pavement where new utilities will be installed. Utility relocations are necessary for the construction of the new bridge over the CSX railroad tracks. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Lane Closures: </b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Periodic lane closures along Route 1 may be required but long term closures are not scheduled.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Future Plans: </b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>• Two week to two month look-ahead – <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Continue all of the above work but start additional buildings to provide new retail to the area. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Opening of Gateway Park. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>• Two to six month look-ahead – <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Start additional retail buildings. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Perform Spring landscaping for areas completed during winter months. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>o Start interior fit-out of Whole Foods. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Work Hours: </b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>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 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Contact Information: </b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>For any construction related concerns, please contact Robert Lockhart of Capital Construction Consultants at 202-669-7157 or email at <a href="mailto:rlockhart@ccci-dc.com">rlockhart@ccci-dc.com</a>.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Harlow Solid Italic"'>Jessica<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"'>Jessica E.
