COUNTY News:

Construction crews with TLC Plumbing & Utility will resume work this week as part of the Bathtub Row Reconstruction Project, which has been on winter suspension.

The project, a partnership between the County Public Works Department and Department of Public Utilities, involves road and utility improvements on Bathtub Row from Central Avenue to Peach Street, Peach/Nectar Street to 15th Street and utility improvements along 15th Street and 19th Street.

The project is divided into two phases. With Phase 1 completed last year, crews mobilized this week to begin work on Phase 2.

A full road closure on Bathtub Row from Juniper Street to Peach/Nectar Street is scheduled starting Monday, Feb. 24, to allow for surveying and utility locating to be performed with construction activities to follow later in the week or the following week.

Hours of Construction

TLC Plumbing & Utility will work 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Thursday, with the addition of Fridays and weekends as needed. Residents can expect large equipment and construction noise.

Traffic Impact

To minimize disruption, the contractor will notify and coordinate with affected business owners and residents for certain construction logistics, utility upgrades, and traffic changes as work progresses. Services such as mail delivery, trash and recycling collection, school bus, transit, and emergency services will be maintained.

Traffic should follow all detour signs. The detours will ensure ingress and egress to businesses and residences. Motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians are advised to use caution around construction activities and avoid entering the work zone.

The County thanks residents and business owners in advance for their cooperation and patience.
