Work temporarily paused for this project during Orientation week and the week leading up to the South Side Science Festival. We will resume construction of this project on Monday, October 6th. The footprint for the project fencing will remain minimized, and pedestrian paths will still be open, as shown in the graphic below. We have run into a lead time issue for one of the final steps for this project, and this is the driver for the new project’s completion date.
Remaining Schedule:
- Work will resume on Monday, October 6th
- Concrete pours for the two hatch lids are slated for Saturday, October 11th, so that there is less impact on pedestrians.
- The remainder of the electrical scope is slated for October 14th and 15th
- Plumbing and mechanical vault work to be completed by October 30th.
- Fencing removal and landscaping restoration are slated for Monday, November 3rd.
