Update on Sewer Line Construction Project for the Week of October 4th - October 7th:
On Monday October 4th, RMS Utilities will be working with a traffic control subcontractor on HWY 149/ South La Garita Ave to continue to replace the sewer lines, specifically on E. 9th Street, and the alley betweenE.7th & E.8th streets.
On Tuesday 10/5, they will again be utilizing the traffic control subcontractor on HWY 149/S. Main Street (across from 10 1/2 Street) in order to dig near the existing manhole there and install a permanent water-tight end cap on the short sewer line at that location. RMS is also planning on pouring the cement around the inlet structures on Wall Street and on La Garita Ave (in front of the Rec Center).
Wednesday 10/6- RMS is planning on applying hot asphalt to the previously prepared sections on La Garita (1st down to 3rd St) and then will prepare the other sections of La Garita, as well as on W. Wall Street around the new MH at the alley/near Cafe Ole, for asphalt on Thursday 10/7.
Thursday 10/7- Application of hot asphalt in the remainder of La Garita Ave and the new MH on W. Wall Street is planned
***** All of these activities being planned, but may change due to weather at any given moment, so your anticipated cooperation and flexibility during this time of year is greatly appreciated*****
Please anticipate possible daily road closures to vehicles in these areas of La Garita Ave during this time period and plan ahead accordingly. ALL Off Highway Vehicles (OHV) have been detoured from the typical route on 3rd Street, to now utilize 5th Street as a result of this construction zone. This portion of La Garita will have one lane open to OHV traffic during construction for OHV vehicles so they can utilize the detour route to get to the DownStream Gas Station. HIGHWAY 149 IS NOT TO BE UTILIZED BY OHV vehicles (please help spread the word).
