For CP1, Crew 1 will continue potholing existing utilities as needed and installing the 16-inch force main from the East Middleton Lift Station toward East Lyon Station Road. Crew 2 will continue 24-inch gravity sewer installation on March 16 and March 17 before temporarily moving offsite for emergency work, with next week’s Crew 2 activities still to be determined. Traffic impacts may include flagging operations on East Middleton Drive, driveway crossing coordination with property owners, and lane closures on Will Suitt Road and West Middleton Drive as needed for equipment access, pipe installation, and material deliveries. Planned service impacts remain limited to driveway crossings along East Middleton Drive.

For CP2, crews will continue material deliveries, install pipe across West D Street, stabilize the ground after trench backfilling, remove the bypass pipe, and complete pre-blast surveys around the microtunnel receiving pit. Carolina Drilling is scheduled to move into the receiving pit area at I-85, and blasting is anticipated at the microtunnel receiving pit, while blasting on 8th Street remains on hold until further notice. Short-term traffic control will be used during deliveries and construction activity near 8th Street, D Street, and Will Suitt Road. Sewer service impacts are expected to be minimal during pipeline installation, gas service impacts from blasting are expected to remain minimal this week, and while water service impacts are possible during blasting, repair materials are on site for rapid response.
