Backfilling on 16th Avenue

The Contractor is continuing to pull the shoring and backfill the pit on 16th Avenue today. They expect the pit to be completely backfilled by the end of the day tomorrow, but could finish as early as this afternoon. Additionally, the manhole on Geoffroy Drive will be tested today. Once the test has been passed, the Contractor can begin backfilling the manhole.

The Contractor plans to return to 14th Avenue this Thursday to continue excavating for the new gravity line. This gravity line is expected to take a couple of weeks to install. A more concrete schedule can be made once the work gets underway.
