Construction in Progress
Construction is in progress on the Highland Park Water and Wastewater Improvements Phase 2 project. The crew is continuing the new waterline installation work along Crestway Drive and will be in this area over the next 6 to 8 weeks.
Please note that the contractor will need to jump from one location to another along Crestway Drive to meet the work sequence. Residents will always have access to their homes/driveways except when the construction trench is right in front of their driveway and this impact will only be for a few hours. We will coordinate this with the residents as work progresses. The contractor has metal plates handy to help with vehicle access in and out of driveways with a few minutes heads up. Typical work hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays and may include some weekend work from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Traffic control will be setup at the start of each workday and will be removed at the end of each workday. Appropriate traffic signs and detours will be available during the construction work.
Final paving of the streets will be performed at the end of the project, currently scheduled to start during the summer of 2023. It will include the full width street paving along the streets where our utilities have been installed – Balcones Drive from Perry Lane to Northland Drive, Section of Hancock Drive, Perry Lane from Crestway Drive to Shadow Lane, Crestway Drive from Perry Lane to Mt. Barker Drive and a small section of Mt. Barker Drive. Similar traffic control setup will be utilized again when the contractor returns for the final paving work.
Please observe traffic/detour signs and use caution in the construction area.
Please note that construction schedules can be affected by weather conditions. We will continue to provide updates if there is a schedule change. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to providing the necessary utility improvements in the neighborhood.
