Body
PREAMBLE
The resurfacing of the South Madison Beltline and re-decking of the Todd Drive Bridge between Verona Road and Fish Hatchery Road is divided into 2 phases in which the South Madison Beltline will be limited to two lanes of traffic in each direction. It is expected that the project will take 3 months to complete and will start in early April 2007. The work will consist of milling off a portion of the asphaltic surface, patching the existing concrete base and resurfacing the roadway with asphaltic pavement. In addition, a new deck will be constructed for the Todd Drive Bridge to replace the badly deteriorated deck currently in place. This project cannot be built between the hours of 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM for the following reasons:
1. The amount of construction needed to complete the project in a short time frame exceeds the amount of production that a Contractor can reasonably be expected to achieve in a 12 hour day. The West Beltline is such a vital roadway and WisDOT needs to limit the time frame that this roadway is reduced from three to two lanes. As such, night work will be necessary to complete the project.
2. Sawcutting of the existing concrete pavement, concrete patching, paving, milling, and bridge construction activities could at times take place after 7 pm. Because of the high volume of traffic, the contractor will need to utilize these low traffic volume periods in order to safely deliver materials to the project and limit the overall inconvenience to all the users of this roadway.
3. Certain activities will disrupt live traffic lanes causing severe disruption and delay.
The proposed activities beyond the hours of 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM are as follows:
