Construction – E. Ayre Street at S. Augustine to S. James Streets
Date Posted: Friday, March 14th, 2025*UPDATED SEPTEMBER 5, 2025*
As you are aware, construction halted pretty much as it was beginning. When the contractor milled the one side of E. Ayre Street, they discovered the underground water lines and gas mains were buried in concrete encasements. Those encasements were found to not be buried deep enough by a little less than two feet. Core samples of the road were taken in several locations and this was a complete surprise.
The contractor, engineer and the utility companies met onsite to determine the best way to move forward with the project while maintaining the underground utilities undisturbed.
The contractor has come up with plans moving forward but the formal change order has not been submitted.
The curb work is being completed as scheduled.
We understand the inconvenience and appreciate everyone’s patience. It is regrettable, but this situation was unavoidable.
*UPDATED JULY 17, 2025*
Construction has begun. Thank you to everyone for their understanding. We realize it is going to be an inconvenience to you, but appreciate your support. The result will be a smooth surface to travel on.
Some of you are still using your driveways. The road will be milled down 15 inches, just deep enough to potentially get stuck. Please use the parking provided to you at the Masonic Hall.
Resident parking will be allowed in the Masonic Lodge parking lot. You must enter the Masonic Lodge from Market Street. The Ayre Street gate will only be open to pedestrian traffic.
