Initial operations will consist of clearing all of the right-of-way for the project to the same width as Pierce County's project in order to match the County improvements. The project timeline will allow a construction window for private utilities to relocate all of their equipment. This utility window may extend as long as six months, all work is dependent upon the schedules of the various utility companies.
Once the private utility relocation's are sufficient, concurrently the city will begin underground construction of sewer, water and storm drain improvements. At the completion of the relocation of the public utilities, the city will begin construction of curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements. Preparation for paving will begin at the completion of curb installation.
Signal work can commence once the private utilities have completed their work.
Expected completion of final paving and channelization (striping of lanes) will occur in the next construction cycle as weather permits
9th Street will not be completely closed at any time throughout the construction process. The entire roadway will be re-opened to traffic as soon as possible, dependent upon the above entities' variable schedules, weather inclusive.
