The designers of this project have taken great care to develop a construction plan that will minimize inconveniences to you. However, the very nature of this work often makes it necessary to temporarily reduce or detour traffic flow and close streets. We will help you locate parking if your driveway is blocked temporarily. HEAVY CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT the work area for the duration of the project. This kind of work uses heavy construction vehicles, including dump trucks, concrete trucks, and earth moving and trenching equipment, all of which are quite loud during operations. The contractor may keep equipment within OPEN HOLES AND TRENCHES If it is necessary to maintain an open hole or trench, the contractor is required to make the area safe with fences, barricades, or other methods. Please be cautious as you enter and exit your property. E A S T B U R N STORM DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
