ST8201-CS 881221SUBJ E:CT; CLOSING BETHEL SCHOOL IN'rERSECTION - WE.WOULD CLOSE BETHEL SCHOOL AT DENTON TAP AND NEAR THE BROOKS I~NTERSEC~ION. TRAFFIC WOULD BE ROUTED OUT TO DENTON TAP VIA BETH~ ROAD. THIS WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE TWICE TO ACCOMODATE CONSTRUCTION FOR 'rHE FOLLOWING REASONS: · 1) THE FIRST CLOSURE WOULD BE FOR ONE DAY MINIMUM~ 'TWO DAYS MAXIMUM. THIS CLOSURE WOULD BE FOR THE PURPOSE OF STABILIZING THE SUBGRADE. AN ASHPALT SURFACE FOR TRAFFIC WOULD BE PLACED FOR TRAFFIC TO RUN ON, THEN BETHEL SCHOOL COUL,D BE OPENED BACK-UP. 2) :'HE SECOND CLOSURE WOULD BE' FOR FOUR DAYS MINIMUM., SEVEN DAYS MAXIMUM. THIS CLOSURE WOLILD BE FOR THE PURPOSE OF PAVING THE MAINLANES, AND THE POUF. b-.BACK DN BE]'HEL SCHOOL ROAD. THIS WOULD ELIMINATE HAVIN(~ ]'0 REDUCE THE TRAFFIC TO ONE DIRECTION, MULTIPLE DE'rOURS, AND POSSIBLY THREE WEEKS OF WORKING TIME IN ]"HE iNTERSECTION. SUBJECT: [:LOSING BETHEL ROAD INTERSECTION - WE WOULD CLOSE BETHEL ROAD JUST EAST OF THE CITY PARK, ACCESS WILL NOT BE AFFECTED TO THIS AREA. WE WOULD ALSO CLOSE BE]HEL ROAD AT DENTON TAP ROAD. TRAFFIC WOULD BE DETOURED VIA BETHEL SCHOOL. I 'THIS WOULD HAVE TO BE 'DONE TWICE TO ACCOMODATE CONSTRUCTION FOR THE SAME REASONS GIVEN IN THE SUBJECT OF CLOSING BETHEL SCHOOL. SUBJECT: CLOSING BRAEWOOD ROAD INTERSECTION - WE WOULD CLOSE BRAEWOOD TO THRU TRAFFIC @ GLENWOOD, AND TO TRAFFIC AT DENTON ]'AP ROAD. TRAFFIC WOULD BE ROUTED TO DENTON TAP VIA VANBEBBER OR SANDY LAKE. ]"HIS WOULD HAVE ]"0 BE DONE ONCE TO ACCOMODATE CONSTRUCTION. i) THE CLOSURE WOULD BE FOR THE PURPOSE OF STABILIZING THE SUBGRADE. THE MINIMUM LENGTH OF CLOSURE WOULD BE ONE DAY, TWO DAY MAXIMUM. SUBJECT: REROUTING TRAFFIC INTO '[HE CITY PARK NORTH OF COTTONWOOD CREEK. WE PROPOSE BUILDING A TEMPORARY ROAD iNTO THE PARK JUST NORTH OF WHERE THE NEW CONCRETE PAVING WILL STOP (APPROXIMATELY 50~ NORTH OF THE EXISTING C~,TY PARK ENTRANCE. SEE ATTACHED DRAWING FOR DETAILS. THIS WOULD BE DONE TO ACCOMODATE COMPLETING THE ACCESS TO THE PARK IN TWO PHASES. THIS DISTURBED AREA WILL OF COURSE BE RESTORED TO IT'S ORIGINAL CONDITION. SUBJECT: THE HANDLING OF TRAFFIC WHILE WE ARE PAVING. IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO ROUTE TRAFFIC BY FLAGMEN CONTROL AROUND OUR CONCRETE TRUCKS, AND BELT PLACER. THIS WILL NO]- BE NECCESSARY ALL THE TIME~ BUT MOST OF THE 'rIME. .BY THE CONTRACT WE ARE RESTRICTED TO WORKING BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 8:50 AM AND '4:50 PM WHEN WE ARE ON THE STREET. THE AREAS WE WILL BE WORKING PAVING FROM THE EXISTING STREE'r ARE OUTLINED ON 'tHE ATTACHED PAVING PLAN. PROPOSED PAVING PLAN FOR DENTON TAP.ROAD Phase one will consist of paving thirty four feet'wide for both pro~ects. The majority of the paving will 6e on the west side of the existing roadway. Phase two of the paving will be the completion the paving. Phase two will be discussed ir~ detail as the time for it approaches. Pha.se one will begin at the south end of the project tying into the existing concrete pavement and proceeding no~th to approximately ~tation ~7+55. We will then c~oss ove~ the ~ailroad and begin again at approximately station ~8+50. Paving will ~::ontinue no~"th to the south curb ~eturn Bethel Road. We will leave a block out from curb return to curb return to facilitate traffic and our material and batch trucks. Paving this block out will be the l~ast pavement pla~ed this phase. In paving to the south curb return Bethel Road it will be necessary for our placing machine to be positioned in the south bound lane of the existing road. Flagmen will be use~ to allow one lan~ o{ traffic to pass the placing machine at a time. We plan to install advanced warning ~igns that ~ suggest to th~ public that they use an alternate route d~lring the paving operation. It is hoped that these signs wi~ll reduce the volum~ o~ traffic the flagmen will need to handle. From the north curb return of Bethel Road to the bridge it will be possible ~or the Placer to be behind the west CLiMb and therefor not in traffic. At this point we propose to walk the slipform acros~ the new bridge to continue paving north. Once the slipf°rm across the bridge it will again be necessary to have the placer in the south bound lane of the existing road. We will continue north on the w~st side to a point at least I00 feet ~,orth of where we plan to ~ross ove~ to the east side o~ the exi.sting roadway. This will requ~Fe being allowed to close Bethe~l S~hool Road and pave e~ontinuously thru this intersection providing a much improved product than by paving this intersection piece by piece. While Bethel School Road is closed tra{.~ic may be detoured to Bethel Road where we propose to have ~lagmen stationed du~ing daylight hours. These ~lagmen will also accommodat~ ou~ material truck and concrete trucks thus preventing a traffic tie up at this intersection. In order to shorten the amount time that, Bethel School is closed we request permission to ~reate lime treated material on site. Then just prior to the paving operation read~ing this intersection we will exc~avatm the ~xisting roadway and the approach and under cut the p~oposed sub-grade to place the lime treated material to the proper depth. Incidentally we also request~ p~rmission to use this lime treated material arou~'~d the water valves and manholes that~ are raised dust ahead o~ th~ paving. Then starting on the east. side o~ th~ roadway as ~ar south practical ~ontinue paving no~'th until we reach the existing pavement at Sandy Lake Road. It is..understood that we Will leave the appropriate block outs for the commercial establishments on the east side of the road. 'Once across Sandy Lake Road we will again pave on the west side of the existing road until we reach the north end of the project. We ~ill again require the same procedures as'employed South of Sandy Lake, for example. the appropriate block outs, flagmen, and the use of ~the lime treated material for the block outs. I trust~ this plan to have addressed the major concerns raised about phase one paving. Should you require additional detail or wish to discuss the finer points o~~ this plan please feel free to call.
