Bay Road Scheduled to Begin Monday

We are completing work along Edgewood Road, and the contractor will now be able to shift crews to other areas of the pipe alignment. As a result, construction on Bay Road in Menlo Park is scheduled to begin Monday, October 31st.

Pipe installation will begin at the intersection of Marsh Road and Bay Road and move eastward to Flood Park. This work includes digging a trench, laying and welding segments of pipe, then backfilling the trench. Below is a detailed construction notice that was mailed out to nearby neighbors.

Construction staging for this work will be on the Right of Way between 14th and 18th Avenue.

After construction is complete we will restore the road to pre-construction condition.

NOTE: As with all construction schedules, this represents our best knowledge but is subject to change due to weather or other circumstances. We will continue to update this blog with construction information.

Thank you for your patience throughout the construction process.
