​We want to give the community an update on the project's remaining schedule. The material needed for the fiber optic cable installation has been unavailable, which has pushed back this part of the work. Based on the latest delivery information, fiber optic cable installation is now expected to begin in mid-to-late October and take one to three weeks to complete once it starts.

​

A few other utility-related items are also being coordinated with Hawaiian Electric before they can move forward, including the final connections that will bring power to the new streetlights and to the irrigation system along the corridor. We're waiting on utility review and approval for this work and will share updated timing as soon as it's available.

What's Left to Complete

The project team is working through the following remaining items along Salt Lake Boulevard:

• Concrete work for the diesel tank cover at the Aliamanu sewer pump station (in progress)

• Installation of new wood utility poles

• Traffic loop sensor installation

• Striping of intersections and roadways

• Final electrical connections to bring the new streetlights online

• Fiber optic cable installation and irrigation controller connection

• Jobsite driveway, handrails on ramps and stairs, and restoration of the contractor's staging area

• Temporary irrigation and grassing/landscaping, followed by a landscape warranty/establishment period

Cleanup and Finishing Touches

We're also tracking a punch list of smaller cleanup and finishing items, including:

• General cleanup of construction debris along Salt Lake Boulevard 

• Sidewalk crack repairs and clean up

• Removing vegetation growing between the sidewalk and retaining wall

• Removing leftover expansion board material from the retaining wall and clean up

• Realigning the ramp and crosswalk at the Radford Drive intersection

​

We appreciate the community's patience as we work through these final utility coordination items and finish remaining construction. If you have questions about the project, please reach out through the contact information listed here.
