This report covers the shortened Thanksgiving holiday work week and the week of November 26. Temporary paving down on the west side of Germantown Avenue in the area from Winston Road to Gowen Avenue should be done Saturday the 17th by noon. Please note that this paving is temporary: when the entire project is completed, the Belgian blocks will be restored on both sides of the avenue, with a concrete pad in the middle to hold the trolley tracks.
Between Saturday and Wednesday, there will be water main work on the east side of the Avenue between Cresheim Valley Drive and Gowen, as there has been the past few weeks. There will also be night work in this area on Monday and Tuesday the 19th and 20th.
All work will end at 3:30 pm on Wednesday the 21st and will restart Monday, November 26th because of Thanksgiving holiday.
WORK PLANNED FOR THE WEEK OF NOVEMBER 26:
From November 26th -- 30th, water main work will continue throughtout the construction zone. It is possible that barriers will be set up to replace the traffic control barriers beginning the 27th between Cresheim Valley Drive and McPherson. Work behind the barriers will go as deep as 15 feet, which necessitates these safety precautions. Two lane traffic will be maintained, but watch for changing traffic patterns.
Pedestrian traffic is being maintained, except under the train trestle bridge just south of Cresheim Valley Drive.
Since there is no work on Sundays, Advent Vespers guests on December 2 should at most find only changed traffic patterns.
LTSP and the Mt. Airy community wish you a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!
