OBSC1 Paving Progress and Other Reminders

OBSC1 Members: We thought it would be a good idea to share another update today and provide you all with the latest information we have and share some important reminders.

Paving Schedule
As you can all tell, the project is taking longer than we were told it would, but the Contractor is doing an excellent job and they are very attentive to detail. There are a number of reasons for the delays, all of which are outside of our control. On a positive note, we have a better update on the planned schedule of construction; of course, timing is subject to change but below is the planned timeline of activities as of now. We've also attached some pics of the progress for those of you unable to be down - click the street names with hyperlinks to access. Special thanks to Jane Mosenthine for sending pics of E Shore and E Surf along this morning; the rest are from end of day today.

E Shore and E Surf were milled and paved yesterday and are now safe to drive onE Spray and E Channel are now milled and pavedRefrain from driving on either E Spray or E Channel until Friday 5/21 morning, at the earliest. Reminder to be mindful that asphalt remains hot long after the crew leavesOcean Rd will be milled on Friday, 5/21 and paved on Monday, 5/24Ocean Rd will be closed to traffic on Monday, 5/24 through Tuesday, 5/25 noon. All vehicles, including delivery trucks etc., are prohibited from turning onto Ocean Rd during this timeframeE Beach was milled today; E Bay will be milled on Friday, 5/21; both will be paved on Friday, 5/21E Beach and E Bay will be closed to traffic from Friday 5/21 through Saturday, 5/22 morningE Barnegat will be milled and paved on Monday, 5/24, with road closure to follow through Tuesday, 5/25 morningMilling of the west streets will start on Monday, 5/24. Work will start at the southernmost end at W Shore and move north towards W Barnegat with milling, followed by paving. W Bay should be done in this timeframe as well- additional details forthcomingIt is very likely that paving of W Barnegat will take place on Friday, 5/28. Thus, W Barnegat would be closed from Friday, 5/28 through Saturday, 5/29 morning. Yes, we know it is Memorial Day weekend and this is not ideal but we are unable to delay the scheduleWE ARE WORKING TO CANCEL ALL TRASH COLLECTION THE ENTIRE WEEK OF 5/24 to ensure the heavy trucks do not damage our newly paved roads. We will provide an update on this as soon as we know moreWe had somewhat better performance today with staying off the newly paved surfaces, but some folks insisted on driving up the streets into their driveways despite signage and our continued pleas. Thanks to the many of you who are cooperating with this request.
