Teichert Construction continues to proceed with Stage 2 improvements during the recent wet weather. The majority of the construction operations consist of installing storm drain along the roadway in conjunction with wildlife crossings. The wet weather limits the ability for construction equipment to access grading areas near the retaining walls. Prolonged days of thick fog has also limited Teichert Construction's ability to implement lane closures for installation of storm drains across Vasco Rd. As spring approaches, Stage 2 roadwork will commence upon completion of storm drain operations.
In early February, Teichert Construction performed remedial slide repair work at Wall 4 North. This repair operation consisted of excavating a hillside to remove a recently discover slide plane, installing a keyway, and regrading the slope to accommodate the future lane widening.
