In case you missed it, we
introduced the 2015 Salem Cable Project Map-Schedule in last
week's newsletter. Although construction timeframes are subject to change
based on a number of factors, we believe that the Map-Schedule will be a
useful reference tool for community members to get an accurate sense of
where their neighborhood fits into the overall project schedule.
On the construction front
last week, Salem Cable Project contractors completed manhole "test
pits" on Washington Square South and on Hawthorne Boulevard. This work
provides contractors with important information that will inform their
excavation work in the coming weeks and months. This week, contractors will
begin excavation for the Washington Square South manhole installation. Once
this work is complete, they will begin the same process for the manhole
installation on Hawthorne Boulevard.
Looking further down the
road—after the Washington Square South and Hawthorne Boulevard manholes are
in place—Salem Cable Project contractors are tentatively scheduled will
begin duct-bank installation starting just north of the South River Bridge
on Congress Street and continuing across Derby Street to connect with the
manholes on Hawthorne Boulevard and on Washington Square South. This
construction sequence has been developed in cooperation with the City of
Salem and members of the community, and it is designed to expedite
construction in sensitive downtown areas, specifically at the intersection
of Derby Street and Hawthorne Boulevard.
Over the last week, we have
received some questions related to the gas line work taking place around
(and in some cases on) the Salem Cable Project route, and so we wanted to
clarify a few points. Unfortunately, due to the historic winter from which
we're still recovering, a good deal of National Grid Gas's gas line work in
Salem has been delayed. Most of the overlapping work between the Salem
Cable Project and National Grid Gas construction areas is located around
Hawthorne Boulevard and Derby Street. You can expect to see National Grid Gas's
work continuing in the the vicinity for six to eight weeks. We are happy to
continue addressing any questions that you might have on this issue and, as
always, we'll continue to share new information as it become available.
Also, if you are aware of anyone
who we should be in touch with please let us know and encourage your
network of friends and family to sign up for our weekly e-newsletter! Just
