There is no substantial change to the locations affected by the City’s wastewater rehabilitation project this week.
Construction continues in the both the 16000 Block of Farm Road 1120 and in the 700 Block of West 10th Street. The work at both locations involves open trench excavation and pipe/manhole installation.
“On West 10th Street, our alignment is parallel to but off the street, so impact on the traveling public will be limited to brief lane closures,” said David Brock, Cassville Public Works director. “The construction will cross a number of commercial driveways, however there is enough connectivity between parking lots and buildings to ensure that each building will always be accessible. Work in this area is expected to last another 7-10 days [as of Monday].”
Work in the 16000 Block of Farm Road 1120 has not yet required a full road closure, but the city expects that to be required this week.
“The closure will only be required while construction is in progress, and the road will be reopened at the end of the workday,” Brock said.
The following traffic restrictions should be anticipated at times through the week:
• Intermittent lane closures or restrictions in the 700-800 Block of West 10th Street.
• Road closure to through traffic in the 16000 Block of Farm Road 1120.
• Through traffic is advised to to heed the “road closed ahead” signs and find an alternate route around the construction site.
• Local traffic will be able to access property, however, the direction needed to arrive or depart may change over time depending on the location of the construction activity.
“The contractor will try to keep access open for local traffic but there will likely be times when equipment or materials will block individual driveways,” Brock said. ‘If residents need to come or go, they can simply inform someone on the construction crew, a city staff member or the project inspector, and they will get you in or out as soon as possible.
“This portion of the project may be very disruptive in the immediate area of the excavations, if anyone has questions or concerns issues, please let us know.”
Pipe cleaning and inspections for the trenchless rehabilitation has been completed. There is no timeline yet for the installation of the cured in place pipe or manhole relining.
