There’s lots
of activity and construction machinery on Prospect Avenue, as the street enhancement
project completes its ninth month.
The mile-long
project zone between Magnolia Avenue and Cuyamaca Street contains plenty of hazards
for motorists and pedestrians, including open trenches and heavy machinery
moving around.
The public
should avoid contact with newly installed concrete driveways and sidewalks, as
well as newly poured curbs and gutters.
Several open
trenches are being dug to install electrical conduit that will allow overhead
wires to be placed underground
Workers are
also installing new water lines and moving fire hydrants and water meters.
There’s a
new top layer of asphalt on the south side of Prospect Avenue between Cuyamaca
Street and Ian Way.
Construction
activity will continue from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Motorists
should be aware of the 25 m.p.h. speed limit and enhanced traffic fines in the
construction zone.
