Henderson Water Utility (HWU) and our Contractor, Deig Bros. Lumber & Construction Co., announce a continuing and expanded closure of North Elm Street in Henderson.
Deig has completed the sewer installation on Myrene Drive, Sunset Lane, and Barker Road. Those streets will now require asphalt repairs, and the City & HWU have tentatively scheduled resurfacing those streets during the week of November 9th. This work will require the extension of the closure of portions of Sunset Lane and Barker Road, near their intersection, just west of US 41 North, until 13 November 2020.
Sewer installation is continuing on the south end of this project
and will reach North Elm Street around November 2nd. Due to
the narrow street and right-of-way on North Elm, and the
amount of “bypass” traffic on that street from US 41 North, it
will be difficult to safely work in that area while maintaining
through traffic. Deig Brothers and HWU have requested and
the City has agreed to allow the closure of North Elm Street
from 12th Street to Barker Road. The length of this closure is required due to the lack of adequate connections from US 41 to North Elm. This closure will extend for 3 months, from November 2nd, 2020 to January 29th 2021.
Local traffic within the closed portion of North Elm will be maintained, as will access for emergency vehicles, deliveries, sanitation and recycling pickup, and driveway entry, to the maximum extent possible, while maintaining safety for workers and the traveling public.
Contractor personnel from Deig Brothers will contact
affected homeowners and be available on-site to answer
questions, and every effort will be made to
accommodate resident’s concerns. Trenches will be
filled with rock at the end of each day to facilitate traffic,
and flaggers will be present when one-way local traffic is
necessary. Some pipe on this section of the project will
be installed by horizontal directional drilling methods, to minimize disruption.
If you have further questions or concerns, contact Tom Williams, HWU General Manager, at 270.826.2421.
