Expect regular night work, traffic delays, and construction impacts such as vibration and nighttime noise in the SW Allen Boulevard at SW Scholls Ferry Road area.

Our goal is to get this work done as safely and quickly as possible. This is very large and complex construction that is impracticable to construct during the day. Due to the high traffic counts in the intersection and area of road, it’s most feasible to construct portions of our work at night. Without the night work, a two-month activity could take up to 12 months because operations are slowed due to traffic impacts. We appreciate our neighbors’ patience while we work to get this done.

Subject to change, here is more information on the upcoming activities, tentative timelines, and what to expect:

• 16-inch diameter pipeline construction. Nightime work during April. Currently ongoing with most work heading up Allen away from Scholls.
• Digging tunnel shafts in lawn areas of Brookside Apartments. Daytime work begins mid-April. This involves heavy pounding to set shoring to protect workers. Shoring and digging 20-40-foot-deep shafts will take approximately a month. Setting shoring will take approximately two weeks of intermittent pounding, then tunneling underground between shafts will be ongoing for approximately four months.
• 48-inch diameter pipeline construction Nighttime work tentatively set to begin once tunneling is complete

Crews continue their work westbound during the night. When possible, pavement cutting is scheduled during the day to lessen construction noise. Crews anticipate they will reach 121st Avenue by mid-May.

Expect new construction activity at Conestoga Drive beginning as soon as May 11th for utility relocation work. Expect night activity, noise, and related vibration from equipment at the northeast and southeast corners of the intersection.

Expect construction on SW Hall Boulevard beginning just south of the Hall Boulevard/Scholls Ferry Road intersection to Oleson Road. Work is planned from June – November 2023 for construction of 16-inch and 24-inch waterlines and is planned during the nigh􀆫 me hours. Construction is planned from 8 pm to 5 am, Sunday night through Friday morning.
At the end of each night shi􀅌 , crews will use trench plates to cover construction areas, and reopen all lanes of traffic.
During the night, expect no left hand turns for traffic entering Hall Boulevard from connecting driveways, bicycle lane closures where vehicles and bicycles will share the road, crosswalk closures, bus stop impacts,
and intermittent flaggers in use.
