All, <br /> Please see below a message from Jeff Littlefield, Resident Engineer on the Cabamis portion of the widening <br /> projects. A proposal to accelerate the project schedule has been forwarded, but this proposal requires <br /> simultaneous closure of both the Centergrove Road and Brantley Road bridges, with detours using Dale <br /> Earnhardt Blvd and/or Lane Street. We would like to forward this information to the group for feedback and <br /> wanted to get it out before our meeting because this is on a fast track and closure may happen on March 31- if <br /> consensus is reached. We will take any and all feedback you can provide and update the group at our 3/29 <br /> meeting in Kannapolis. Jeff will be present at the meeting as well, but if you could respond to him directly <br /> beforehand it would help him tremendously in working toward a solution. <br /> Thank you and please see below. <br /> Tony <br /> --------------------------- <br /> My name is Jeff Littlefield, and I am the Resident Engineer for the 1-85 widening project in Cabarrus County <br /> from between north of exit 63 (Lane Street) and north of exit 55 (NC 73). The North Carolina Department of <br /> Transportation is in the process of mitigating the construction schedule to complete the mainline widening(I- <br /> 85) by December of 2018. In order to achieve this completion date, the contractor has proposed the <br /> simultaneous closure of Lake Concord Rd, Center Grove Rd, Brantley Rd, and Moose Rd bridges. Below are <br /> the expected dates of closure: <br /> • Center Grove Rd Bridge—March 31, 2017— Dale Earnhardt Blvd or Lane Street detour—estimated reopen <br /> 3/31/18 <br /> • Brantley Rd Bridge — June 1, 2017 — Lane St detour—estimated reopen 6/1/18 <br /> • Moose Rd Bridge- July 1, 2017 - Lane St detour—Reopen 4/30/18 <br /> • Concord Lake Rd—July 1, 2017— Dale Earnhardt Blvd detour—Reopen 4/30/18 <br /> In an attempt to assess any hardship posed by these closures, the Department would like your input. If you <br /> would, please express any concerns or difficulties that this proposal may pose for your agency. In addition, if <br /> you have additional ideas that will allow these closures while mitigating your agency's concerns, feel free to <br /> provide this information. If you would like to discuss this proposal or would like further information, you may <br /> contact me at 704-652-8272. Thank you for your assistance. <br /> Jeff Littlefield, PE <br /> Resident Engineer <br /> Division 10 / District 1 - Construction Office <br /> 704 983 4380 office <br /> 704 652 8272 mobile <br /> jslittlefield1 cr.ncdot.gov <br /> 615 Concord Road <br /> Albemarle.
