New Construction Project Update – September 2021

New Paint/Body Shop at CityLink Facilities is Phase A of This Project

Construction work has continued on the new paint/body shop, which is Phase A of the new maintenance and administrative facilities construction project for CityLink. Progress with the new building is coming along and the crew from River City Construction has been drilling tie backs and testing them. Now that they are completed, they have started excavation and installation of the lagging.

Excavation of footings started this week, and the crew will start pouring foundations next week. Once the foundations get going, a lot of exciting things start happening. They are also going to start working on the overhead gas piping installation in the existing maintenance building. While it is getting installed, they will also start cutting the ditches across the back drive lane to the new rear building where the utilities will tie in. This work will take the crew through the next 4 weeks.
