BSI Construction Update for the Week of June 10th!
Monday (6/10) - Friday (6/14) the construction crew will be back on Old West Central from Pond Street to Tri County Drive (behind Starbucks) to complete the sewer installation and conduct the final trench pavement. A detour through Tri-County Drive will be in place on Tuesday (6/11) thru Friday (6/14) from 7:30am until 5:00pm. Residential traffic only on Pond St., Rolling Ridge Rd., Hilltop Rd.
and part of Old West Central St.
During this construction phase, the adjacent medical building remains accessible, though Starbucks will be accessible via 140 only. Access to this area may look different as work continues. We are working with school staff to ensure safety.
Also during the week minor work will continue on the dead end section of Old West Central serving Ledgewood Condominiums and Franklin Crossing. Those residents should continue to follow the posted signs for directions on exiting and entering.
At the Franklin Recreation Center, the construction of the new Beaver Street Interceptor Pump Station will continue this week. There is a new way in and out of the Recreation Center, please follow the posted signage. During times of drop off and pickup backup onto Beaver Street may occur.
Please reference the interactive map below and posted signs for details and updates.
