\"Paving\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Even with the most careful planning, road construction can be messy and disruptive\u2026but the surest sign that the heavy construction phase is nearing an end is when the excavation and grading equipment is replaced by paving crews. The vivaNext project is no different, and we\u2019re happy to confirm that paving is now underway on the west sections of the Highway 7 rapidway project.<\/p>\n

Because asphalt can\u2019t take heavy traffic (trucks and buses) for some time after it\u2019s installed, we need to close the lanes that have been newly paved until it has completely set. To minimize the impact, we\u2019re paving a block or so at a time. We\u2019re spreading out the time to pave, over about two months, completing one major intersection per weekend when traffic is lightest.<\/p>\n

Once the paving is done, there\u2019s still quite a bit of detailed work to do before the west section of the Highway 7 rapidway will be ready for operations, including planting and landscaping work next spring. Then in the middle of next year, we\u2019ll begin the process of carefully testing the transit signals and other equipment on this section.<\/p>\n

But once the paving is finished, the biggest disruption of construction will soon be coming to an end. We appreciate your patience throughout this project, and we\u2019ll make sure you know exactly where and when any lane closures are going to take place, to help you minimize any inconvenience. Look for our emails giving you the latest updates on where we\u2019ll be working, and how long our work will take.
