Good Tuesday morning and welcome back to Dawson Road Today!
Monday started out as a good day for construction and they were going gung ho. When I got to my shop just before 12:30, I couldn't get into my parking lot because a lot of equipment was working on subgrade installation on the southbound lane. I just parked next door at the vacant Hanlie Carton parking lot and moved into my own parking lot later in the afternoon.
At the height of the busyness in front of my shop, Plants For All, all at the same time they were using a large excavating shovel, a large compacting shovel, a bulldozer, steamroller, front end loader and a long dump truck. I could certainly feel the vibrations through the ground and into our building. The metal fluorescent light ceiling fixture in our office would rattle from time to time. I am glad that I knew what was going on.
Guelph Hydro had people on site yesterday as well. They still have work to do with removing some of the old poles.
By about midafternoon Monday we were starting to get that drizzling rain that just intensified as the day went on. The crew worked on this upgrade installation and stopped in front of Anna Marie Oliver School of Dance. They stopped a short distance before Shelldale Crescent. However, because of the way the grading looked, I expect they may be finished the subgrade installation.
By quitting time the rain was getting pretty consistent. Today doesn't look very promising with even more rain expected. There is a lot of water laying around but the subgraded lanes look pretty good. When you come onto Dawson Road today, and enter the construction site area you will be directed by an arrow into the right, northbound lane. Drive slowly and you'll be fine.
Remember that up on the Edinburgh Road construction project, Edinburgh Road is closed to through traffic from Willow Road to London Road.
It's a wet Tuesday on Dawson Road, so brighten up your day and ours by coming down to do business on Dawson Road today.
