Work will remain focused on force main installation, sewer main installation, utility coordination, material deliveries, controlled blasting activity, and associated traffic control measures needed to safely support ongoing field operations.

CP-1
Construction activity in CP-1 will continue along East Middleton Drive, West Middleton Drive, and nearby connecting routes as crews advance force main installation and utility coordination. During this period, the public may see crews potholing existing utilities, installing 16-inch and 24-inch force main segments, and moving equipment and materials toward East Lyon Station Road. Traffic control measures, including lane closures and flagging operations, may be used as needed along East Middleton Drive, West Middleton Drive, Will Suitt Road, East Lyon Station Road, and Joe Peed Road to support safe construction access and material delivery. Driveway crossing work is also planned along East Middleton Drive.

CP-2
Construction activity in CP-2 will continue with ongoing FRP pipe deliveries, appurtenance deliveries, pipe installation across West D Street, trench backfill, and ground stabilization. Blasting operations associated with the microtunnel receiving pit are expected to continue as conditions allow, while blasting on 8th Street remains on hold until further notice. Pre-blast survey notifications also remain on hold at this time.

Traffic impacts in CP-2 may continue along A Street, West A Street, West B Street, 11th Street, West C Street, 8th Street, and Will Suitt Road as material deliveries and construction operations progress. Traffic control will be implemented during deliveries, with short-term impacts expected while trucks and crews are actively on site. Road closures remain in place on 8th Street and D Street.

Minimal impacts are anticipated during pipeline installation, and amidst blasting activities. There remains potential for limited water service impacts related to blasting; however, materials are on site to support rapid repair if needed.

Please be advised that noise disruptions may occur during the blasting and construction activities. Work may begin as early as 7:00 AM. Traffic impacts should be expected on multiple streets within the construction area, primarily associated with deliveries, blasting activity, and excavation operations.
