Kings Beach Core Improvement Project Update
Gateway to the Core Phase
With stormy
weather arriving, our construction crews are in the final steps to complete the
improvements along the highway in Kings Beach. Below are the work activities
that are scheduled for the next two weeks:
· Paving
at the east end of the project was completed Oct. 13 and marks a milestone: the
completion of paving on state Route 28 and a continuous stretch of new pavement on from
the Safeway parking lot to east of Beaver Street. Temporary pavement markings
for the newly paved section of state Route 28 will be applied in preparation
for the storm forecast for Friday and the weekend. Grinding for recessed
permanent striping will be performed at night during the week of Oct. 17, and permanent
thermoplastic striping will be performed during the daytime that same week.
· At
the east end of the project, curb/gutter/sidewalk and concrete pavement for bus
stop pullouts and street parking stalls on the north side of state Route 28 are
now complete. Street lights in this area
will be installed next week.
· At
the west end of the project, a new traffic signal pole has been installed, and
final adjustments to the traffic signals and pedestrian crossings should be
completed by the end of next week.
· In
the grid, watch for crews adjusting manhole covers to match new pavement completed
earlier in the season. This work will be done next week, Monday through Friday,
on Dolly Varden Avenue, Rainbow Avenue, Fox Street and Beaver Street.
· Roadside
signs on state Route 28 and the grid will be installed over the next two weeks.
· Daytime
underground storm drain and curb and gutter work continues on Chipmunk Street
north of state Route 28, between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Chipmunk Street north will be closed intermittently
to through traffic between state Route 28 and Minnow for approximately another two
weeks; detour signage will remain in place and will guide local traffic around
the work zone via Fox and Minnow streets. Curb and gutter work on Minnow has
been completed, with shoulder patch paving to follow in the next two weeks.
· Grading
and paving for remaining driveway work will be done over the next two weeks.
· Saturday
work at the east end, including Chipmunk north, is anticipated Oct. 22.
We greatly
appreciate your patience while the crews are completing the installation of the
new streetscape through Kings Beach.
