Project updatesPenn and American Phase 2 Infrastructure ImprovementThe Penn and American project is a multi-phased project involving both public and private projects. The Penn and American Phase 2 Infrastructure Improvements is one project of many for the overall development. This project will construct new watermain, sanitary sewer, storm sewer and the roads of 80½ Street, 81st Street and Newton Avenue. The project includes connecting in the new utilities into existing facilities located within Penn Avenue. The updates listed below refer to the Penn and American Phase 2 Infrastructure Improvement. To find updates regarding other projects, go to major road construction projects. November 2011November 10, 2011Paving of 80 1/2 Street and Newton Avenue is scheduled for Monday, November 14 or Tuesday, November 15, weather dependant. This will be the last site work activity for the year, but building construction will continue throughout the winter. November 4, 2011Curb and gutter along 80 1/2 Street and Newton Avenue is scheduled to be completed on November 7. Paving of these areas is tentatively scheduled for Friday, November 11, weather dependant. October 2011October 28, 2011Paving of 81st Street, a portion of Newton Avenue and the area near the Morgan Shops is complete. Curb and gutter along 80 1/2 Street and Newton Avenue is scheduled for the week of October 31 once the building is backfilled. October 21, 2011Paving of 81st Street, a portion of Newton Avenue and the area near the Morgan Shops is scheduled for the week of October 24. Curb and gutter along 80 1/2 Street and Newton Avenue is scheduled for the week of October 31 once the building is backfilled. October 13, 2011The underground storm water storage structure will be installed the week of October 17. Concrete curb and gutter will also be installed during the week along 81st Street and Newton Avenue near the Morgan Shops. Paving of 81st Street and Newton Avenue is scheduled for the first week of November. October 7, 2011The utility vault lid on 81st Street was manufactured incorrectly, so the schedule for installation of the lid has been delayed and the subsequent paving of 81st Street has been pushed back. The contractor anticipates installing storm sewer on Newton Avenue once the Xcel Energy switch over is complete. September 2011September 30, 2011More curb will be placed the week of October 3. Paving has been pushed to the week of October 10 since progress this week was slowed with the coordination between the elevator and stairwell shaft construction and adjacent site work. September 23, 2011The contractor will continue to install curb and gutter along 81st Street. Installation of a new utility vault lid on 81st Street is scheduled for September 28 & 29, weather permitting. Paving of 81st Street is likely to occur end of September or beginning of October. September 16, 2011Work on utilities is complete. The contractor continues work on the deterrent wall. September 9, 2011Installation of utilities along Newton Avenue is planned for the week of September 12. September 6, 2011Some storm sewer still needs to be installed in the future 81st Street alignment but it is anticipated that this utility work and installation of the rock on the road will be completed by mid-September. The contractor has begun work on the deterrent wall. The work on the wall will continue the next week and a half.
August 2011August 26, 2011Watermain and storm sewer installation are winding down in the future 81st Street alignment. Work on the distribution slabs will continue. Digging the foundation for the deterrent wall will begin in September. On the private site, the contractor will begin backfilling the parking garage sometime the week of August 29, so the big pile of dirt "Mount Bloomington" will slowly begin to disappear. August 19, 2011Watermain installation is complete in Penn Avenue. The concrete patch of the road was placed on Friday, August 19. The bituminous patch of the road and removal of the current traffic control devices will occur the week of August 22. Once the road is reopened to two lanes of traffic, the right turn lane for northbound Penn Avenue traffic will be closed to facilitate the installation of the distribution slab. Watermain and storm sewer installation will continue on the site in the future 81st Street. August 12, 2011Watermain installation continues. Pressure and bacteria testing of the new lines installed under Penn Avenue (CSAH 32) is underway. Once the watermain tests have been passed, the contractor will be able to patch Penn Avenue and remove the lane restrictions. This is anticipated to occur sometime the week of August 15. August 5, 2011The contractor is installing the watermain and storm sewer at 81st Street the week of August 8. Traffic lanes on Penn Avenue remain closed, but are anticipated to reopen the week of August 15. July 2011July 29, 2011The northbound right turn lane will be closed on Penn Avenue (CSAH 32) between W. 81st Street and American Blvd to facilitate the installation of boring pits for utility installation. The contractor will be working on installing the water main at 80 1/2 Street the week of August 1 and will move to install the watermain and storm sewer at 81st Street the week of August 8. July 22, 2011Precast components for the private development work continue to be hauled in to the site. The contractor will be digging in Penn Avenue on July 28 and 29, weather dependant to verify utility locations prior to excavating for the boring pits.
