The following is a press release issued by the City of Ukiah:
On the south side of the project, between Gobbi and Cherry, concrete crews will continue patching the sections where utility work was done. Joint trench work will continue between Mill and Gobbi along the east side of the street. There will be temporary impacts to some driveways, but crews will provide advance notification and will work to place steel plates across the driveways as quickly as possible. Demolition of sidewalks is occurring on the east side, curbs and gutters are being formed on the west side, and we will likely see the beginnings of foundations for street lights starting on the west side.
On the north side (Norton to Henry), installation of the brick band along the edge of the sidewalks will begin and work will occur at the intersection of Scott and State, including the replacement of the traffic signal at Scott Street. Remember—the signal at Norton and State will not be replaced, so drivers should be aware of changing conditions in the near future. All traffic signals in the construction area will remain on flash until the new pavement is in and the lane striping has occurred, likely late May/early June.
Where will the work occur? Work on the joint trench for electrical and communication lines between Mill and Gobbi continues, along with sidewalk demolition on the east side; on the north side, installation of the brick band in the sidewalk and work at Scott/State intersection.
What are the construction days/hours? Construction hours will be Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. – 6 p.m., depending on the weather.
Will there be dust and noise? Yes. There will be some noise associated with the south section; not much dust.
Will there be any disruptions to parking access or streets? Yes. On the south side, on-street parking in the construction zone will be closed; however, on-street parking on the north side of the project is open in most areas (see above). Pedestrian access to businesses will be maintained at all times. Through traffic on State Street will be allowed in both directions. Traffic signals at Gobbi/State and Mill/State will remain on flash.
