Hemlock Creek and Dutchman’s Creek Box Culverts

Schedule: July to December 2011

Location: Orange Lane – Larson Road

Description: This project will construct new box culverts at two locations along US 41. One box culvert will be constructed to carry Hemlock Creek across US 41 south of Scheuring Road, and the second box culvert will be constructed to carry Dutchman’s Creek across US 41 north of Hanson Road. There will be temporary widening at each location for the first phase, with traffic moved to the outside will the middle portion of each box culvert is constructed. During the second phase, all traffic will be shifted to the center of US 41 while the outside ends of each box culvert are constructed.

November 28 to December 4: Work will continue on both the east and west ends of the Dutchman’s Creek box culvert, as well as the sections under the northbound and southbound lanes of US 41. This work will continue all of this week. There may be some grading work on both sides of the box culvert in preparation for the upcoming channel change and final grading around both ends of the box culvert.

December 5 to December 11: Work will continue on both the east and west ends of the Dutchman’s Creek box culvert, as well as the sections under the northbound and southbound lanes of US 41. This work will continue all of this week. There may be some backfilling of the box culvert in areas that are ready for backfill.

Traffic impacts: Northbound and southbound US 41 traffic at the Dutchman’s Creek location will be in the median for the next month.
