Month: January 2018

Utility Services will begin preparing for the chilled water installation at the Fort Hill/Calhoun Drive intersection on Thursday, Feb. 1. Jackhammers will be used to demolish the asphalt to enable workers to install the lines this coming weekend.  The work will begin at 6:30 p.m. Thursday evening and will not require the intersection to be closed. Crews will demolish one lane at a time to allow access to vehicle traffic.

The intersection will be closed on Saturday, Feb. 3 to allow crews to install chilled water lines.  Construction should be complete by the end-of-day Sunday, Feb. 4. The intersection will be re-opened by 7 a.m. Monday, Feb. 5.

Starting Friday, January 26th, Calhoun Drive will be closed from the intersection of Walter T. Cox Blvd. to Fort Hill Street. The closure is necessary to complete the asphalt installation along this section. To minimize the impact on traffic, the road will remain open until end of day Friday. This portion will partially reopen on Monday, January 29th, from Highway 93 to the crosswalk at Brackett Hall indicated in the visual below.  The section south of the Brackett crosswalk will remain closed to allow Utility Services to install chilled water lines.
