Brick Street Project Updates

Here is a time line of what to expect in the next week or so of work: The crews should be finishing up the storm and sub-drainage work by next week – June 30.
By the end of that week and into next they will begin moving dirt off the site and begin compacting and grading – July 9.
After that they will begin bringing in truck loads of crushed rock and begin building the sub-base. I believe the contractor and engineer are hopeful that the string line for concrete work can be put in place around the July 9 – 12 time frame.
The crews will be working on Saturdays and Sundays as much as possible and as weather permits.
Please note that temporary one hour parking restrictions will go into place and enforced beginning on Tuesday, July 29th pending city council approval of the resolution authorizing such on Monday night.
This parking restriction is for the downtown area and will be in place for the duration of the street project. It does not apply to areas marked for parking less than one hour, such as 15 or 30 minute loading zone – those remain in effect.

The Sun is up today and drying out the streets. Once the mud has dried, the construction on Main and Court will resume.
Reminder: There is a scheduled Project Informational Meeting tonight at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall. On the agenda is the latest in project scheduling, the City Council Resolution on Parking in the construction area, and odds and ends.
The meeting is open to the public. Hope to see you there!

The continual rain has delayed construction today since the ground is too saturated to safely allow work on the street project.

Rain has lead to incredibly soggy ground at the Brick Street construction site delaying further work.

This Just In…

The project encountered an unexpected turn on Monday, June 15th as the brick were removed became dry and brittle. This came as a surprise as several of both layers of brick had been tested for strength and moisture content.The bricks were determined unusable and will be recycled to shore up the erosion along the river bank caused by repeated flooding. This may cause a slight deviation in brick patterns used in the cross-walks or intersections.
There have been several comments about the brick pallets being stacked on the Court House lawn. Rest assured; the contractor and Dallas County had previously discussed the arrangement and the contractor will be responsible for restoring the lawn to its previous condition.
Work on the storm water improvements and connections will be finished throughout this week and next before grading begins. This will also include installation of the sub-drain system.
