Yes. Our top priority is the safety of our customers, the public, employees, and contractors. The professional construction firms we work with also place safety as their top priority. 

No. This work will be managed so that service interruption will not be an issue. 

Construction is expected to start Late-April 2024 and completion of this project is set for Fall 2024.

Traffic will be impacted during construction at the intersection of Fulton Street between Grand Avenue & Putnam Avenue. Our team is working with the city to ensure the safety of the area where our work will take place and plans to mitigate traffic issues to the greatest extent feasible. Detour Signs will be posted on nearby streets and a traffic flagger will be on-site during construction hours to help direct vehicular and pedestrian traffic. 

No. Our work is in the public right of way (ROW) in roadway and/or sidewalk areas. Every area we disturb, we will restore back to its original condition or better.

While our contractors will make efforts to keep disturbance to a minimum, there will be noise associated with this project. Most of that noise will occur while excavation is underway as contractors use heavy equipment to trench ahead of the infrastructure work.
