| The Contractor, R.B.
Jergens out of Vandalia, Ohio has completed the pavement removal
on the north side of CR 25-A. Two-way traffic is being
maintained on the south side of CR 25-A on the new
"temporary" pavement. The Contractor is also
continuing the installation of the 20" water main, which
will be located underneath the southbound lanes of travel once
the final pavement is in place. The service laterals will need
to be installed and the water main will need to be tested and
chlorinated prior to the new main being put into service. The
schedule is to make the transition from the old water main to
the new water main sometime mid to late August.
The Contractor is also in the
process of replacing the bridge over Rush Creek. The majority of
the existing structure has been removed. The Contractor is
gearing up to begin driving piling for Pier #2 (east side). Once
the pile driving is complete, the Contractor will begin pouring
concrete for the footer for Pier #2.
The Contractor has removed the
concrete median and has begun widening the pavement on the south
side of Rush Creek towards the river bridge. Storm sewer
installation is also taking place on the south side of Rush
Creek. |

Jergens out of Vandalia, Ohio has completed the installation of
the temporary pavement and the storm sewer on the south side of
CR 25-A. Traffic was switched over to this temporary pavement on
the south side of CR 25-A on Monday, July 2, 2007. R.B. Jergens
has begun removing the existing pavement on the north side and
installing new storm sewer on the north side. The installation
of the new 20" water main will also take place during this
phase of work.
The replacement of the bridge
over Rush Creek will also take place during this phase. During
the bridge replacement, CR 25-A between Hetzler Road and Piqua-Lockington
Road will be closed to all traffic. The official closure of CR
25-A between Hetzler Road and Piqua-Lockington Road began
Monday, July 9, 2007.
The construction of the bridge is
anticipated to take approximately 120 days. An official detour
will be set up to direct traffic around the road closure which
will consist of: Looney Road to U.S. Rt. 36 and then back onto
CR 25-A.
As with all construction
projects, motorists are asked to proceed through the
construction areas with caution |
