Z ARCHIVE D6 - Hwy 56 in Leroy: 2023 construction
 Highway 56 in downtown LeRoy looking east between Mather and Broadway.
Downtown work continues with sanitary sewer, water and storm sewer pipes, connections
Construction crews are making good progress downtown with the underground water utilities for the city of LeRoy.
Sanitary sewer connections are done between Broadway and Mather streets. The water connections were expected to be completed by the weekend. Construction workers will then be working on the storm sewer connections next week.
Watch for a change in the detour crossing street in the coming weeks. As work progresses in the next few weeks, crews will close the crossing at Broadway and switch it to Mather, so they can install the sanitary sewer, water and storm sewer to across Broadway and into the next block.
Businesses are open
Look for many sites that have entrances at the back. Some sites only have entrances that can be reached at the front door. Follow the gates and established walkways. You can reach the businesses.

Barricade moving or removal is illegal
People who are moving traffic barricades are creating dangerous conditions for motorists and workers. You're also creating conditions where drivers who illegally go past barricades are damaging concrete and other work, which delays the project's completion. In most cases, damage pavement or curb needs to be torn out and replaced.
It's also illegal. Be aware that law enforcement has been alerted to people who are moving or removing barricades. You risk being prosecuted, so don't do it.

Concrete curb signals that paving time approaches
Construction crews made great progress this week as they poured the concrete curb on Highway 56 on the west side of the project. But as we noted, people have removed barricades and damaged some of that work. The damage delays completion and opening.
In construction, once the curb is poured and the concrete has cured or reach sufficient strength, crews will come in to begin paving the road. Paving is scheduled next week. Before traffic is allowed on a newly paved road, signs and striping need to be in place, so it's possible traffic could be operating on the west side in a couple of weeks. If people drive on the road prior and cause damage, it will delay the opening.
