CONTINUED INSTALLATION OF TEMPORARY
BYPASS PIPING ALONG HAMILTON AVENUE
DURING WEEK OF APRIL 10th
Frederick, Md. --- Please be advised that Mid-Atlantic Utilities, Inc. will continue the installation of temporary bypass piping along Hamilton Avenue, from East Patrick Street to East South Street, during the week of April 10th. The bypass piping will provide water service to the properties within the work area. Additionally, we will sawcut the pavement of the water main trench. Once the bypass system has been completed, water main installation will begin. The water main replacement and associated work in this area will continue for approximately four months. Construction activity will be seen on Hamilton Avenue, between East Patrick Street and East South Street through July 2006.
IMPACT TO AREA:
Traffic control devices such as traffic cones, signs and arrow boards will be used to limit traffic to one lane during the hours of 7 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Temporary traffic detours will be installed on a daily basis, as needed, from 6:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. During these temporary detours, only local traffic and deliveries will be permitted on the street being worked on.
Please exercise caution when driving or walking in the vicinity of the temporary bypass piping (blue pipe along street).
Please note that during the progress of this work, parking along the street is strongly discouraged. During non-working hours, miscellaneous equipment and materials will be stored within the parking lanes of the streets as necessary.
We apologize for any inconvenience this street work may have on you. Thank you for your cooperation!
