Due to culvert repair by Glimmerstone, route 131 will be closed.
CONSTRUCTION 131 ACTIVITIES FOR WEEK OF 8/31: Crews will be concentrated to the box culvert replacement site next week. One lane will be closed at 7:00 a.m. on Monday, 8/31 to begin the replacement with one lane alternating traffic controlled by flaggers. The full roadway will close at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, 9/1 and remain closed to through-traffic until 12:01 a.m. on Friday, 9/4. One lane alternating traffic is to be expected Friday (9/4) with crews shutting down work on the project at noon in observance of the Labor Day holiday weekend.
Mesh installation and general site clean-up along this area of the project will continue for approximately one week. This work will be completed behind the barriers located within the signalized portion of the project between Lindberg Drive and Brook Road.
Drainage work is expected be put on hold next week to allow crews to focus on the box culvert replacement. Installation of headwalls should resume the following week (9/8).
Previously completed pipe crossings will remain as a gravel surface for several weeks until paving is scheduled. The traveling public is urged to use caution when traveling on gravel surfaces at the location of any pipe crossings that remain unpaved.
Holiday: Crews will be ceasing operations at noon on Friday, 9/4/20 in observance of Labor Day. Work will resume on Tuesday, 9/8 at 7:00 AM.
Traffic Impacts: One-way alternating traffic patterns should be expected at various locations along the project during work hours (approximately 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.) There will be several work zones throughout the project and the traveling public should expect longer than average delays when traveling through the project. Each work zone will keep traffic flowing as freely as possible, however it is recommended that extra time be added to travel plans/schedules.
