Good Wednesday morning and welcome back to Dawson Road Today!
It was a good weather day yesterday for construction. Remember the oval concrete pipes that I showed you a week or so ago, and I didn't know what they were going to be used for. Well, now I do. There is an easement that runs between the Brushcuts Professional Pet Grooming building and Rona Cashway. Within this easement runs a storm sewer system that connected surface water from the Edinburgh Road area over to the open ditch on Dawson Road. The crew is going to use these oval concrete pipes to connect the storm sewer system from the Edinburgh Road area to the new storm sewer system on Dawson Road. The first picture shows the oval pipes I'm talking about. The third picture shows some of the new pipes already installed coming from the new storm sewer system in Dawson Road. The second picture shows the concrete storm sewer pipes coming from Edinburgh Road. By the way, I was wrong when I called the concrete pipe shape as oval. I have learned in fact they are elliptical.Today should be a beautiful weather day for construction and it may just be the last good one this week. I expect the crews will finish this concrete sewer pipe connection today.
Just a reminder, all of the pavement in the construction zone has now been removed. The road surface is very rough and uneven. Drive slowly to protect your vehicle's suspension.
At the start of construction today Speedvale Avenue, where it intersects with Dawson Road, has the two westbound lanes open; but there is only 1 eastbound lane open. The road is clearly marked with pylons, so watch and follow.
It's the middle of the week and it's a good day - get out there and make the best of it.
Brian
