Fair Oaks Construction Work to Finish Oct. 18

The following is a release from the city:

Residents and businesses are advised that the final road paving for trench work on a water mainline installation under Fair Oaks Avenue is estimated to be completed by Oct. 18, 2013.  Paving and other road work will occur from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, beginning today.

The city urges motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians to use caution while traveling through the area. Motorists can anticipate traffic delays and it is recommended that they seek temporary alternative routes.  Motorists may also be detoured to Raymond Avenue during construction to ease traffic on Fair Oaks Avenue.

The work will involve partial road closures, but at least one lane in each direction will be maintained at all times on Fair Oaks Avenue.  Local access to businesses also will be maintained, but may be limited at times.

The project is a collaborative effort by the City’s Department of Public Works and the Pasadena Water and Power Department (PWP) to complete the final phase of PWP’s water mainline trench project in the area.  A & Y Construction Co. is the contractor completing the project. 

Notices from A & Y Co. were previously distributed to residents and businesses directly impacted by the construction work. Changeable message signs about the project were placed on Fair Oaks Avenue about two weeks ago.
