Construction Alert No. 27
Pioneer Way Reconstruction Project

December 8, 2011

Paving Tomorrow Between Ireland and Ilwaco

With the aid of some beneficial December weather, Strider is slightly ahead of schedule in their efforts to complete the unfinished stretch of Pioneer Way. As a result, Lakeside Industries will arrive on the street tomorrow (Friday) morning to pave the Ireland and Ilwaco intersections and the remaining piece of Pioneer Way. Their plan is to complete the paving to full depth in one day, meaning that the street should be fully in place and accessible by the end of the day.

Unfortunately, we do not expect to receive our archaeological permit revision for the raised northern parking area between Ilwaco and Ireland (in front of Mike’s Mini Mart) until Wednesday of next week, so those spaces will not be paved tomorrow with the rest of the street. However, these spaces will be paved with concrete either late next week or early the following week when the concrete subcontractors return to pour the new sidewalks. Weather permitting, all asphalt and concrete work should be complete before the Christmas holiday weekend.

Brief Detour Tomorrow Morning

Also, the presence of the paving crew in town means that the striping subcontractor will also be here. To take advantage of their presence, we have asked them to repair the turn arrow on Pioneer just west of Dock Street (in front of Glamorous). A brief detour will be necessary but we have asked the subcontractor to re-open the street no later than 11:00 am. We apologize for any inconvenience.
