Concrete Underlayement

The concrete contractor is hard at work installing all the concrete that goes below the sidewalk brick. There is a 5" layer of concrete, on which goes 1" of sand, followed by the brick pavers. The brick subcontractor should be on site within the next couple of days to begin setting brick. Check back by the end of the week for some pictures!

Schedule Update

The General Contractor is site grading the parking lot. What that means is that they are cutting the dirt down to subgrade, or the level below what makes up the parking lot. The parking lot will be paved with bricks, but beneath those bricks is 18" of stone.

The Concrete Contractor is now on site placing all the curb that goes throughout the parking lot. That's going to be about 1000 Feet of curb! They're moving pretty quickly, though, and should knock most of it out this week and next.

The Electrical Contractor is constantly in and out of the site, placing conduit and wiring wherever available.

Dumpster Enclosure

These brick workers really work fast! None of those bricks were there this morning, and two hours later they have another 4 rows in place! This is the back side (Palmer Ct Side) of the new Dumpster Enclosure. Access to the dumpsters will be through a small gated door on the Palmer Ct side and from the front/parking lot side, which is entirely opened, save for a rolling gate.

LOCUST STREET CLOSURE

Please be advised that Locust Street will be closed between 2nd and 3rd Streets the week of September 21. There will be access to the NB&T parking lot, and 2nd and 3rd Streets will NOT be blocked or closed in anyway.

Construction Progress

The concrete contractor has completed all foundation walls. They are currently working on the curb along Locust Street. Now that the foundation walls are complete, the general contractor will begin grading the site. It will appear that more work is going on now, because everything that has been done so far is underground! Storm sewer, foundation walls, stone, etc. all takes a significant amount of time to install.

Concrete Foundation Walls

The concrete subcontractor has been working on the foundation walls for the seat wall along Locust, the retaining wall in Palmer Court and the dumpster enclosure wall. Once this work is done, masonry installation will begin for these three structures.

Site grading should begin within the next week or two.
