Work on the Diamond Drive Phase II Project continues to move toward completion. While the original ssubstantial completion due date of Oct. 27 has come and gone, ongoing contract adjustments are expected to extend the substantial completion date to approximately Tuesday.
Substantial completion means that all major aspects of the project are completed, including the roadway paving and striping, a fully functional traffic signal at Diamond and 38th/Arkansas, and placement of all traffic control devices.
Final completion is still scheduled for Dec. 1, giving the contractor time to complete identified punch-list items.
Project Manager Rey Gonzales said items currently remaining include paving intersections at 35th Street south and 37th Street, striping the Arkansas/38th Street intersection and north side of the roadway, activating the new traffic signals at the Arkansas/38th Street intersection, and completing sidewalk and curb work in areas where utility poles must be removed.
Pole removal is tentatively scheduled for this week and the concrete work will follow as weather permits.
Left turns within the project have been reinstated except for the Arkansas/38th intersection. Left turns will be allowed at this intersection as soon as the new traffic signal is functioning.
