Teichert Construction continues construction of the Vasco Rd Safety Improvements Project into the 2011 winter season. Stage 1 Improvements (widening of the Brushy Creek Bridge and construction of 6 retaining walls) were completed during the summer 2010. Construction of Stage 2 improvements began in early 2011, consisting of storm drain and wildlife crossing installation and architectural finishing of the retaining walls. Construction activity has been limited to the recent weather, however Teichert Construction continues to make steady progress. The architectural concrete finish (fractured fin) for portions of the southern project limit retaining walls were recently completed in late February 2011 with the remaining walls at the northern limit to be completed by June. As drier spring weather approaches, it is anticipated that significant construction progress can resume. The remaining portions of Stage 2 (grading and paving) will start in early Spring 2011 with Stage 3 improvements (consisting of median barrier and wildlife fencing installation, grading, and paving) scheduled to start in June 2011. Pending weather delays, the project is anticipated to be completed by December 2011.
