Upcoming Work and Construction

We hope you enjoyed the YouTube video at the top of this update! Earlier this week, we were able to get some drone footage of the project site. You can see both the crews at work and some great drivers who were able to safely navigate through the work area. For a project like this, a drone is a great way to see the project from a different perspective. We also have some project progress photos to share and you can click here to view those. 

Western Gateway construction began on Tuesday, August 9. Like we've mentioned in past updates, a primary focus for our contractor in these first few weeks of work has been underground utility installations such as the new water main and pipe services (which you can see in the video above). Crews are also installing stormwater services at the new bus shelter, as well as subgrading the bus shelter area.

Next week, crews will be focusing on the installation of pipe services and that work will continue for the next several weeks. Crews will also be installing two fire hydrants between Pacific Court and 12th Street.
