Point Ruston LID Update

Loren Cohen sent the following update on what is going on behind closed roads....

Five barge loads of fill material are being imported to the site, which includes approximately 20,000 tons of clean trench backfill and 5,000 tons of pea gravel. This material will be used for the construction of the first phase of master infrastructure project which will complete the installation of the deep 96” manhole and 2,800 lineal feet of sanitary sewer system. The road closure is planned to last through November 25th, with Ruston Way and the tunnel back open for Thanksgiving.

Here are some pictures from the work:

Anonymous #2 will likely get her wish, with Pt Ruston's latest annoouncement. Things have a way of stretching out, and the tunnel and road work that has to be done could take months, especially with the weather and the work ahead.
