Expect drilling and blasting this entire week at intersection of Route 4 and Killington Road in Killington. A detour remains in place via West Hill Road. There will be one blast daily between 11 a.m. and 12 noon (if unforeseen delays it could be as late as 1 p.m.).
“A second drill rig will arrive this week and begin blasting up the east side of the Access Road. This is to remove the remaining ledge on that side as well as the ledge within the limits of the new sewer line,” Markowski Excavating, Inc. explained.
Rock will continue to be hauled off site, sand will be brought on site from the south end of the project. Water trucks will also be mobilized from either end of the project as we will need it for dust control and compaction of the imported materials.
“We will be receiving all the catch basins for the storm water and sewer installation Monday morning [June 3],” Markowski wrote. “Work will begin this week on installing the new sewer line that runs parallel to Route 4. This work includes removal of the existing line, installing two new catch basins and testing.”
Work the following week, beginning Monday, June 10, will be a continuation of drilling and blasting rock, plus installing the sewer line up the east side of the road where the second drill rig will be working.
“In addition, we will be also working to install the future water line along the west side of the Access Road. Once these two pipes are installed, expect sand and gravels to be transported on site and placed in prep for the new road base,” Markowski said.
Dust control will continue as needed when the weather gets warmer and drier.
