The contractor will begin Phase 1 on Aug. 26, 2024, performing preliminary work, such as mobilization, construction staking, potholing and staging area setup with a full road closure on Bathtub Row from Central Ave. to Oppenheimer Drive (Mesa Public Library driveway).
Construction is scheduled to begin later that week or the following week. The project was presented at a public meeting conducted during the regularly scheduled Transportation Board meeting in March 2023.
Hours of Construction:
TLC Plumbing & Utility will work from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Thursday, with the addition of Fridays and weekends, as needed. Residents can expect large equipment, and construction noise.
Traffic Impact:
To minimize disruption, the contractor will notify and coordinate with affected business owners and residents for certain construction logistics, utility upgrades, and traffic changes as work progresses. Services such as mail delivery, trash and recycling collection, school bus, transit, and emergency services will be maintained.
Traffic should follow all detour signs. The detours will ensure ingress and egress to businesses and residences. Motorists and pedestrians are advised to use caution around construction activities and avoid entering the work zone.
