IMPACT: Noise & Revised Traffic Patterns

This week the construction team will be focusing on removing the remaining public utilities that run under 17th Street.  Because 17th is now OSU property, the public utilities that run under the street (sewer, water, etc) must be removed.  Crews will also be removing the existing light poles and overhead electrical lines.  Most of the noise this week will come from equipment & truck backup alarms, and from the demolition of 17th street.

Over the next two weeks crews will also begin doing the mass excavation of the site.  This entails digging the footprint of the building to prepare for the pouring of the foundation and installation of concrete footers that will support the building superstructure.
