The paving crew will continue work on the U-turn paving from WB Northpark to EB Northpark on the east side of the railroad tracks.
On Monday July 27th the signal contractor will be on site to work on the temporary signals @ LP 494 in preparation to open the NB and SB lanes of LP 494. UPRR is scheduled to be onsite, on the same day for testing of UPRR signals. UPRR must complete their activity before the intersection can be opened.
The storm sewer crew will install 7×6 RCB on the west side of the intersection of Northpark and LP 494. This segment will connect two existing junction boxes, located on the northeast and southeast corners of the intersection of LP 494 and Northpark Drive. Connection of the two junction boxes will be a project milestone as for the first time, the Phase 1 Northpark Drive Project Drainage System will be complete.
The sidewalk crew will continue working on the sidewalk leave outs project wide.
The streetlight crew has completed work on traffic signals at the intersection of Russel Palmer, awaiting their walkthrough with the City of Houston for the turn on of the signalized intersection in its final configuration.
The streetlight crew will also continue installing illumination foundations and light poles as private utilities, and the fire hydrant relocation crews continue to remove facilities from within the limits of the new sidewalks.
The irrigation crews will continue work on the permanent irrigation main lines between I-69 to LP 494.
The structures crews will continue with their drill shaft foundations for the bridge on the east side of the railroad tracks, then move to the west side of the tracks. Estimated timeframe for drill shaft foundation completion is 1 month.
A 2nd structures crew is scheduled to mobilize to the project mid-August to begin the column work on the east side of the railroad tracks. Once column installation is complete, they will begin work on the inverted T caps.
The LP 494 intersection will remain closed awaiting the scheduling of the UPRR Staff to be on site to test the traffic signal communication with the Railroad signals. Once this is completed, the intersection will be reopened to the traveling public going north and south on LP 494.
