Lyell Avenue project progresses
by Kristina Gabalski
Completion of construction on the Lyell Avenue, Spencerport, project is scheduled for the end of June.
Karen Cox, P.E., a Transportation Project Manager with the Monroe County Department of Transportation, says the one-way westbound traffic pattern was put into effect in early April.
“Since that time, the contractor completed the underground closed drainage system, removed the old roadway pavement and installed granite curbing on both sides of the road,” Cox said.
The granular pavement sub-base course was also installed, she said.
The week of May 7, the first layer of the asphalt pavement system was installed. The second layer of the pavement system has also been installed and work is being done on driveway aprons.
“The contractor will also begin work on sidewalk replacement,” (where needed),” Cox said. “The work is scheduled for approximately two weeks. After that, the contractor plans to begin the landscaping work, installing topsoil, seeding lawns and planting replacement trees.”
She adds that the one-way westbound traffic pattern will remain in effect until the completion of construction.
