From CSX Construcction/ Virginia Avenue Tunnel
1. Saturday Work, April 28th
CSX expects to conduct construction-related work on Saturday, April 28th, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. at locations throughout the Virginia Avenue Tunnel project area. Activities on Saturday may include backfilling of existing excavation areas, demolition and removal of temporary bracing and street restoration work. CSX does not expect any of this to be disruptive, and will implement mitigation measures to reduce the impact this work may have on neighbors. Small groups of workers may be present on the site throughout the weekend to monitor the status of pumps and other essential equipment, but activity will be very limited and is not expected to be disruptive.
2. Lanes to Shift on 8th Street
As soon as Monday, April 30th, traffic will be shifted to new lanes on 8th Street S.E., through the intersection with Virginia Avenue. This will allow for the removal of the Phase II bridge deck and the final reconstruction of the intersection. Drivers are urged to be cautious while traveling through the area.
3. Please Plan to Join Us for the May 16th “Coffee with Chuck”
The next “Coffee with Chuck” morning briefing will be held Wednesday, May 16th, from 8 to 9 a.m. at the CSX Community Office, 861 New Jersey Avenue SE. Registration and refreshments will be available beginning at 7:30 a.m. The VAT engineering team will provide an update on the current status of construction as well as upcoming activities. We hope to see you there.
