The surcharge consolidation settlement phase for a portion
of President Street has ended. Now that
settlement in the western portion of the project has reached constructible
levels the surcharge material is being removed so that water and sewer lines
can be installed along the south side of President Street, from the Madison
Retail Warehouse entrance west to Randolph Street.
Utility crews continue to install water, sewer and gas
utilities just west of Truman Parkway.
Once these new lines are tied back into the existing ones, work will
continue westward and the excavations for these connections will be back-filled.
The canal wall crew finished pouring the last concrete for
the western wall on the north side of Truman Parkway. Once concrete is set, forms will be removed
along with the sheet pile used for shoring during excavation. Fill will be placed back around the walls
temporarily until this crew returns later in the year to construct the bridge
over the proposed canal.
