Mid-Week Work Update

Danville Route 2 Project

Project: Danville FEGC 028-3(32)

WEEK OF 8/22/11

BLASTING: Crews will resume blasting operations Thursday, 8/25 and continue on Friday 8/26 on the corner of Park Street and Peacham Road – across from the Post Office.

Blasting Schedule (Tentative): Each day between the hours of 9am and 2 pm crews plan to blast 2-4 times per day. Blasting times within the hours of 9am and 2pm are variable and may change each day.

Blasting Signals: Crews will sound a horn as follows:

Pre-Blast - 3 consecutive signals – 5 minute warning

2 consecutive signals – 1 minute warning

Post Blast - 1 signal – all clear to enter the blast zone

Blasting Traffic Control - Traffic within the blasting area will be held for 5 minutes before the actual blast and then continue to be held post blast until the roadway is cleared of debris and rebuilt for safe passage. Each blast will bring different results so the wait time after blasting is unknown at this time. Crews will work to keep post blast hold times as short as possible.

Traffic interruptions will be contained to the Park and Peacham Road area. Route 2 traffic will not be affected by the blasting being performed this week.
