Nevada Department of Transportations (NDOT) Kingsbury Grade (SR207) Pavement Reconstruction Project reopens to through traffic Friday, May 23 at approximately noon. The next phase of construction begins Tuesday, May 27 with night work beginning at approximately 9 p.m.

The closure of Kingsbury Grade from May 1 through May 23 has resulted in the completion of 5,000 cubic yards of excavation, installation of 2,600 tons of new asphalt and 1,800 feet of new curb and gutter. The accelerated construction schedule will enable the project to be completed in 12 to 18 months rather than three years. We appreciate everyones patience during this closure, which enabled construction work that usually takes months to complete, to be completed in 23 days, NDOT Project Manager Pedro Rodriguez said.

Construction continues during the summer months starting Tuesday, May 27 through Friday, Aug. 29, with Kingsbury Grade open to through traffic. However, nighttime construction-related lane closures and delays are expected. The road will be open with one lane in each direction during daytime hours, weekends and all holidays through these summer months with no restrictions.

The approximately $15 million project will reconstruct pavement and make drainage, safety, curb and gutter, sidewalk, lighting and other improvements on areas of Kingsbury Grade from just east of Daggett Summit (Tramway Drive) to the intersection of U.S. 50 at Stateline. Construction follows a very aggressive schedule to complete the project in an accelerated 12 to 18 months.

The project uses the Construction Manager at Risk process, which brings project designers and contractors together at the start of the project with the goal of completing it more quickly, efficiently and cost effectively.

The public can sign up for construction alerts and see additional project information at kingsburyproject.com. A hotline for the Kingsbury Grade Pavement Reconstruction Project has been set-up at 1-844-888-ROAD and messages will be returned within 24 hours.

PLACER COUNTY (CBS13) Placer County is suing the people who built the new headquarters for the sheriffs department, probation department and district attorney as they say the building is falling apart.

Just seven years after it was built, damage from structural problems at the Auburn Justice Center has even crept into the sheriffs department evidence room. A county spokesperson says no evidence has been compromised.

Rob Unholz is the Placer County capital improvements manager. He worked in the facilities department for 25 years, but he says hes never found an issue like this.

Water leaks have forced the county to peel away entire sections of sheetrock and stack garbage cans on standby for the next rainstorm.

The buildings unique design includes brick, metal, plaster and translucent panels. The complicated combination required detailed construction.

This shouldnt have occurred and youre always concerned whether the outside weather protection of a facility is showing vulnerability, Unholz said.

Now the county is filing a lawsuit, saying theyve had experts check into the cause of the leaks. The civil complaint against the company hired to build the justice center alleges, The leaks have been caused by improper installation of certain windows and roofing, and improper design of the roof and gutter.

The county alleges its spent $1.7 million to fix the construction work and the lawsuit hopes to recoup those costs.

There are many different reasons why you may need a new gutter for your home. For some, they may want to hire a professional to install the gutter. Others may want to perform the gutter installation themselves and learn how to install a gutter. Whatever the choice, it is best to get informed. That could mean researching local professionals that will perform the gutter installation for you or reading up on do it yourself guides to carry out the gutter installation yourself.

First off, lets explain what exactly a gutter is since there are many types of gutters. The most popular form a gutter that you may need to execute a gutter installation for is the rain gutter. A rain gutter is attached to a roof and it accumulates and redirects rain that falls on a roof. It is usually attached on the side of a roof and could be made of metal or other materials such as cast iron, steel or PVC. It helps prevent leaks and other form of water damage that could be caused by rainwater. A box gutter is a form deep gutter which is usually embedded into the roof and difficult to see from the outside. It is possible for gutters to get clogged and this could damage the household structure. As a result, as part of your gutter installation, you may need to install gutter screens or other guards to protect the gutter from waste and other junk.

First off when trying to perform a gutter installation is to dedicate enough time to follow through with the entire gutter installation. A weekend should be adequate time for a novice to advanced handyman. It is also beneficial to pick a weekend where there is no rain in the forecast for your gutter installation project.

The first step for the gutter installation is to run a chalk line on the side of your roof, about just over an inch from the drip edge, beginning from the located downspout.

Secondly, you will want to attach brackets. During the gutter installation, you will want to look for the roof fascia for nail heads. All roofs should be equipped with nails heads. You will usually find them every foot or so along the roof edge. You will want to drill half inch holes along the roof and attach the brackets in.

If you have proceeded past this point of the gutter installation, the next part is to cut the gutter and this can be done with most power saws. Make sure you properly measure your roof because the gutter needs to be the right length for your gutter installation. The next step of the gutter installation is to install end caps and cut the hole for the downspout. Make sure you also properly cut the gutter while taking into consideration the corners of your roof. Once that has been done, you will put the gutter into the brackets. This is the make or break step of the gutter installation because if it fits right, you will know you did your gutter installation properly. The last step of the gutter installation is to install the downspout in place. If everything fits well, you have successfully completed a gutter installation!

REXBURG A major road project in Rexburg is about to get underway with the reconstruction of the intersection at First North and Second West.

The Rexburg City Council voted unanimously on May 7 to approve the low bid for the project of $792,446 by Depatco, Inc.

The city has provided details about the project, which is expected to be completed in the middle of July.

The project will be funded through the city's Urban Renewal District and Local Improvement District 44.

The curb, gutter and sidewalk portion of the project for the 33 parcels will come to approximately $99,000, which is about 13 percent of the cost.

All but three of the parcels planned for road edge improvements in L.I.D. 44 are adjacent to the intersection improvement project.

On the southeast side of the curve four homes have been removed for the project and two more are planned for removal.

City officials have long been concerned about the safety of the intersection, which also includes a railroad crossing with four tracks.

The complex intersection, with one main railroad track and three spur tracks, currently has a north-south railroad crossing for Second West and an east-west crossing on First North.

The sight lines for drivers and railroad engineers are restricted by granaries and commercial buildings.

Highway work to cease for holiday weekend

ITD reports no construction allowed May 23-26

By TERRY SMITH Express Staff Writer

Travelers will get a break from construction on state Highway 75 south of Ketchum for the Memorial Day weekend. The Idaho Transportation Department announced Wednesday that work on a 3.25-mile section of the highway will be suspended Friday, May 23, through Monday, May 26. The work suspension was announced in a construction update provided to public officials and the news media every other week by ITD spokesman Nathan Jerke. According to the update, construction contractor Idaho Sand & Gravel continued this week working to complete the entire southbound alignment, with most of the work occurring from Hospital Drive north to the end of the project near the bridge over the Big Wood River. The work also includes installation of curb and gutter. Paving is expected to start on Monday, May 19. ITD expects paving of the southbound lanes to be completed by Thursday, May 22. However, the agency noted that weather or other complications may delay the work. ITD intends to have all traffic switched to the southbound lanes north of Hospital Drive once paving is completed. Work under way also includes completion of the rock faade on the retaining wall near Owl Creek Road, milling of the old roadway on the east side of the highway and continuation of storm drain pipe and infiltration pond placement. Utility work will continue at various locations within the construction zone. ITD reminds drivers to use extreme caution when traveling through the construction zone and to slow down and watch for flaggers, slow traffic and construction vehicles entering and exiting the highway. When completed, the project, started in 2013, will provide two lanes in each direction from Timber Way just north of East Fork Road to the bridge over the Big Wood River near St. Lukes hospital.

Highway work to cease for holiday weekend

Officials celebrated the completion of the reconstruction of Broad Street in Winder, using a new construction method as part of the Highways for Life program. Participants include: (from left to right) state Sen. Frank Ginn, Georgia DOT Board Member Jamie Boswell, former Winder Mayor Buddy Ouzts, Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, former Winder Mayor Chip Thompson, Mayor David Maynard, former Mayor John Mobley and state Rep. Terry England.

Officials praised a new construction technique Tuesday that could help a Winder street last for decades.

(This is) the way roads should be built, said Georgia Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, cutting a ribbon on the reconstruction of Winders Broad Street, where concrete panels were built in a neary factory and then pieced together at night along the city downtown thoroughfare.

The nearly $5 million project, construted by G.P. Enterprises of Statham, is expected to create a stronger driving surface. The city also pitched in money for new sidewalks, curb and gutter, benches, lighting and landscaping.

This project started as a vision almost 10 years ago. Today we celebrate the foresight and hard work of those who came before us, said Winder Mayor David Maynard, who gave credit to his predecessors Buddy Ouzts and Chip Thompson for their contributions. I am especially proud that local businesses were utilized for the project. The contractor is a local business from Auburn, GPs Enterprises and Foley Products of Winder made the precast concrete panels that are now North Broad Street.

Cagle praised the changes to the downtown landscape.

Today we applaud the use of innovative road building techniques that allowed improvements while minimizing the impacts to downtown, Cagle said. Because of the concrete panels used, this road is going to last longer than I am going to last. Thats the type of road infrastructure we need to be putting down, the way roads should be built. In addition to that it looks absolutely beautiful and will bring economic development and business transactions to Downtown Winder.

State Transprotation Board member Jamie Boswell praised the contractor for completing the work two months ahead of schedule, despite a record cold and rainy winter.

Through this project in Winder, weve shown the benefits and importance of a partnership mentality as Georgia DOT works together with local leaders, Boswell said.

ELGIN The city council Wednesday night is set to approve awarding a $4.05 million bid to Landmark Contractors of Huntley for an extensive rehabilitation project in the Locust Street area on the citys near-west side.

The amount includes $1.006 million for street rehabilitation, $20,000 for water works, $200,000 for sanitary sewer adjustments and $2.76 million for sewer separation. Engineering services in the amount of $295,000 will be presented to the city council separately at an upcoming meeting.

I would like to start by the end of the month or sooner if possible, but there are a number of documents we need to have in order before they start, City Engineer Joe Evers said Monday. I am taking the [engineering] agreement to the committee of the whole on May 28, and if all goes according to plan to the regular council meeting on June 11.

Supporting material for the Wednesday meeting notes work involves the installation of a new storm sewer, removal and replacement of curb and gutter, sidewalk and drive approaches, the repair of, and in some cases the complete replacement of, the pavement base, pavement grinding and new riding surface of bituminous concrete. The project will improve approximately 0.2 miles of streets and construct 4,000 feet of storm sewer. The project also includes minor repairs or adjustments to sanitary sewers and water systems.

The work will cover all of Locust Street, which runs from Route 31 (State Street) west to Jewett Street; South Crystal Street from Locust north to Highland Avenue; Vine Street from Locust north to South Street; Elm Street from Locust south to Crosby Street; and West Chicago Street from Crystal east to the Fox River.

The storm sewer will extend up West Chicago, south on Crystal and then along Locust. It is sized to pick up some of the streets south of Locust, Evers said. The street work will include all of Locust, from Jewett to State.
