Last week the hydrants and valves on RT 22 were installed. Restoration of work areas was also started within the ROW. This week the T-connection will be installed where the line coming from the new well field turns onto RT 22 and restoration work will wrap up. Traffic management will be with the shoulder closure.
The focus will shift to construction within the well field over the next couple of months. There may be an occasional need to turn a valve or open a hydrant on RT 22 during these final stages of construction. The NYSDOT requires management of traffic with a shoulder closure any time work takes places within the ROW. There should be no impact to traffic.
Construction is still on track to be complete on RT 22 by August 16th.
