Construction Alert No. 25
Pioneer Way Reconstruction Project
November 8, 2011
Fencing Removed Between Ilwaco and Ireland Streets
Based on the number of smiles on the street this afternoon, it is safe to say that there is plenty of relief along Pioneer Way that the barrier fencing around the archaeological site has finally come down. City Public Works crews completed construction this morning on the temporary driving surface along the southern half of the street and, as can be seen in the photograph below, it has been opened to traffic. A big thanks to the crew for making short work of the transition from archaeological dig to functional street!
As noted last week, a design change for the northern half is nearing readiness that will eliminate the need for any additional excavation in the parking area on the north side. While some testing will still be required in sidewalk areas, in the transitions at the bottom of Ireland and Ilwaco Streets, and in other locations where conduit is still needed, there should be no need to re-install fencing on the north side. Strider Construction is still scheduled to return to complete the street following the Thanksgiving holiday.
