Activities for the week of November 9, 2026:
- Site excavation – Moderate offsite hauling
- Rock excavation – Hydraulic hammering of rock; the contractor will work efficiently to get through this phase of work as quickly as possible
- Remedial clean up of local streets
- Medford Water work on in-street piping around the site and preliminary on-site pipework
- Pipework in Valley View driveway entrance – Limited work will be occurring around the Valley View entrance to the site
The City of Medford Engineering department continues to provide valuable input and suggestions for how to best navigate traffic control and signage approaches around the site. This is a difficult project in a challenging location, which makes support from neighbors so important and so appreciated.
