Construction Announcements

Noise Complaint Update (04.07.26)

Normal construction times are 7:00am-6:00pm. Occasionally, the work will include activities that, once started, cannot be stopped until they are complete, such as the placement and finishing of concrete slabs. Every attempt will be made to conclude construction work prior to 6:00pm, but we thank the public for their understanding and patience in those instances when work must extend beyond the normal time. These instances should be rare in occurrence.
