Major Milestone Approaching For the Main Street Project

MAY 7, 2013 - CrossRoad Engineers Lance Stahley has announced they are quickly approaching a major milestone for the Main Street Project.  "We are getting ready to open Phase I to traffic from 13th to 8th Avenue on Friday May 10th. You may have already seen the schedule in the most recent newsletter update.  However, I wanted to remind you separately that the schedule has changed slightly but has not affected the opening of Phase I to traffic.  Paving will be on Wednesday and Thursday of this week for the Base and intermediate lifts of asphalt.  The signal at 10th will be activated on Thursday the 9th.  On Friday the 10th after school lets out the two-way condition currently between Albany and the alley will be returned back to a One-Way north condition.  So when everybody returns to school on Monday the 13th, they can anticipate being back to traffic patterns that were in place prior to the project beginning.  There will remain to be the surface paving at the end of the project and therefore the roadway will be temporary striped with double yellow centerline striping on Main and stop bars on the side streets.  This phase will be open to traffic but will have remaining items to be completed outside of the roadway so anticipate work to continue from the parking areas along Main Street.

Main Street Project Update May 1, 2013

Please be advised that the newsletter update for the Main Street project linked below has updated phasing and schedule due to the progress being achieved in the first phases.  The intent of closing another phase for work earlier than originally anticipated is to be able to open that phase ahead of schedule.

CrossRoad Engineers Beech Grove Main Street Project Newsletter, Vol. 5

Main Street Project Update: April 19, 2013

Infrastructure has begun from 8th to 6th Avenues (Phase 2). From 13th to 8th Avenues (Phase 1) infrastructure is now complete and the subgrade is being prepped. Phase 1 will get aggregate base the week of April 22nd and then curbs and sidewalks will follow. Also during the week of April 22nd you will begin to see foundations for the new light poles being installed.

Where concrete walk has been removed, a temporary stone walk is being installed for access purposes. At some point this stone walk will be graded for the new permanent concrete walk placement. When this walk is formed for pouring the new walk there will be some inconvenience at the Main Street access.

Phase 1 and Phase 2 closure will continue through to late June. There wil be no closures from 6th Avenue to Emerson Avenue until Phases 1 and 2 are open to traffic. Open to traffic will exclude the final surface pavement and permanent striping of the roadway.

You can read more in CrossRoad Engineer's Beech Grove Main Street Project Newsletter, Vol. 4.

Main Street Project Progress Meeting Minutes:  Meeting #8, March 28, 2013

Main Street Project Update: March 22, 2013

Pavement has mostly been removed from 13th to 8th Avenues and the new infrastructure has begun. Main Street will be closing between 8th and 6th Avenues on March 27th dependent on the weather. This closure will continue through mid to late June along with the closure west to 13th Avenue.

During this closure vehicular access to businesses and homes shall be via the alleys north and south of Main Street. No parking signs will remain on 10th Avenue north of Main for the school to have two-way traffic on 10th between the alley and Albany Street.

There will be no closures east of 6th Avenue until Main Street is open for traffic between 6th and 13th Avenues.

You can read more in CrossRoad Engineers' Beech Grove Main Street Project Newsletter, Vol. 3.

Main Street Project Update: March 13, 2013

Tree removals along the Main Street project will continue soon.  These removals have already begun west of 8th Avenue and will continue from 8th Avenue toward Emerson Avenue.  There may be short term inconvenience and disruption to certain parking spaces as this occurs.  There will be a need to utilize a few parking spaces at a time for equipment and personnel to remove the trees.  The contractor doing this work will mark the parking spots with construction barrels prior to the tree removal and will re-open the spaces as soon as the tree near the space has been removed.  This work could begin as soon as this week.   

Main Street Project Progress Meeting Minutes:  Meeting #5, March 7, 2013

Main Street Project Update: February 20, 2013

The start of the demolition phase for Main Street improvements is just two weeks away. You may have already noticed the advance notice of closure signs placed at the 13th Avenue and Emerson Avenue ends of Main Street.

The current plan is to set-up the closure for Main Street between 13th and 8th Avenues on Saturday, March 2nd so that it is in place as the contractor starts demolition of the existing roadway on Monday, March 4th. This will include the closure of 11th, 10th and 9th Avenues between Main Street and the alleys both north and south of Main Street. 

10th Avenue between Albany Street and the alley north of Main Street will be striped for two-way traffic during this phase of the project for access to Central Elementary School and the Beech Grove Public Library. No Parking signs will posted here during this phase of construction to safely allow for two-way traffic.

Local pedestrian traffic will be maintained throughout construction and a detour for vehicular traffic will be posted. Alleys or surrounding roadways that were recently paved in anticipation of these closures can be used for alternate routes or rear access.

Additional information is available in the newsletter from CrossRoad Engineers linked below. You can also feel free to stop by the CrossRoad Engineers project office, 704 Main Street, to inquire about any aspect of the project.

Citizens Energy Group Main Street Water Main Relocation
Updated 7:00am, Friday, October 12, 2012

Please click on the link below to view the Tentative Schedule for the Main Street Water Main Relocation Project. 

After the water main is constructed within a particular block another crew will follow to install the new service lines and the block will be closed to thru traffic and a signed detour will be in place.  This one block at a time closure will be for up to five days. 

 Both east and westbound traffic will be shifting to the south in the area where the water main construction is being completed.

Temporary Stripping and Detour Plan 

Main Street Project Set to Begin With Water Main Relocation...

Hunt Construction Group will be the contractor performing the water main relocation work for Citizens Energy Group.  This work is being done in conjunction with the Main Street Improvement project and needs to be done ahead of the road contractor.  Hunt intends to bring materials to the project area the week of September 24th and then begin construction work on the water main the week of October 1st.  

The initial work will be between the bridge (west of 11th Ave) and 8th Ave and all side streets within this area (out to the first cross alley away from Main Street).  This work will require the closure of the parking lanes but the contractor will maintain east-west traffic on Main Street with minimal short term closures due to roadway crossings.  No water services will be affected in the beginning but within a few weeks the new services will need to be connected and this work will result in water service outages of approximately 3 to 4 hours at each residence/business.  These will not be all at the same time so Hunt will coordinate with each parcel by going door to door or leaving flyers with information.  If you have special circumstances they will work with you to coordinate the best time for the service connection.  

Once the work is done up to 8th Avenue, then work will proceed going east along Main Street to Emerson Ave and will be performed one block at a time from there on and each block will be closed to all traffic for up to 5 days.  Again, this work will include the water mains on the side streets out to the first cross alley away from Main Street.  This work will continue into the winter months until all water main installation is complete.  Again, there will be continued communication with all residents and businesses affected for both road closures and service connections.  During all of this work, emergency traffic will be accommodated within the construction areas if necessary.

More information will follow for the road contractor and their schedule.  We still expect them to begin on the project by late October 2012.
