We are working diligently to get the roundabout operational by mid-August, the project to be substantially complete by November, and the landscaping target completion by Spring 2022.
Current activity includes the signal installation at the intersection of North Point Parkway and Kimball Bridge Road, median installation, road widening at North Point Parkway, handrail installation at the Greenway on the west side of the bridge, and asphalt paving. Ongoing activities include utility relocations, storm drain installation, grading, sidewalk installation, curb and gutter installation, pedestrian light poles and pedestrian light fixture installation, conduit installation for traffic signal interconnect and lighting.
Recent activity includes the roundabout truck apron, including the concrete pavers and the splitter islands; completion of construction of the wall at the New Prospect Elementary School corner of the roundabout and the stone veneer installation; the stone veneer installation was completed on the east side of Kimball Bridge Road just south of North Point Parkway and the stone veneer wall between Fire Station 85 and Saehan Church.
Upcoming work includes the completion of the median, the Greenway tie in to Sterling Brooke Subdivision, and the Greenway tie in at the wall of the west side of the bridge.
Heavy traffic delays due to construction should continue to be expected. We will keep you updated on this project with key milestones.
