Harvey St. Construction Update
Monday, August 23, 2021

The first week of construction on Harvey St. is complete and we look forward to continued progress on the project. In the last week, crews were able to set up the Phase One traffic pattern allowing for access to northbound Harvey through most of the project area. There were times where traffic would only be allowed as far as the St. Joe’s medical building parking lot due to staging of trucks and equipment. Crews began work on installing new storm sewer along the west side of Harvey St. as well as beginning to install new storm water structures.

This week, crews will begin an important part of this project and that is, the installation of new water main. To accomplish this, the new water main will be installed below the cement enclosed portion of the Tonquish Creek, which runs underneath Harvey St. On Monday, crews will begin by digging two large pits on either side of the Tonquish Creek. These will be open excavations, so we need everyone’s cooperation to keep the work area safe and secure. At the end of each workday, the site will have fencing securing the area. These areas are off-limits to the public and these measures are put in place to keep the public and the contractor’s crews safe. We understand that this is an interesting project, but we ask for everyone’s safety to please stay as far back as possible.

Starting Monday, August 23, we will be moving to Phase 2A until at least Thursday morning.

2021 Infrastructure Packet Traffic Phase 2A

We will try to keep northbound Harvey St. traffic open up to the St. Joe’s medical Facility; however, it might be easier to access the lot via the Fleet St. temporary ramp that was installed. Traffic that is in/on the parking deck can exit on Harvey St. and travel north toward Penniman during this phase.

As always, we appreciate your continued patience during this project and ask for your continued caution in/near the construction area.
