Phase 2

Ramblewood Dr - Concrete driveway work will begin the week of 8/3. They will be starting with driveways near H Ave and working to the south. Crews will ensure residents have moved out of the driveway prior to pouring concrete. As a reminder, the concrete will need a minimum of 3 days to cure before residents will be able to use the driveway again. Residents will be able to park in front of the homes during this time.  

Winddrift Ave - Sanitary mainline installation is planned to be completed by 7/31. Redline will work through 8/7 on complete restoration of the road.

Maple Leaf Ave - access is planned to be restored by end of day 7/31. 

Bramble Dr - Sanitary mainline installation is scheduled to begin on 8/10. H Ave will be closed completely starting 8/5 in preparation for this work. 

Ramblewood Dr - Driveway removals are underway. Gravel will be placed at the approaches for temporary access.

Driveways where the base course of asphalt has already been placed will be removed over the next week, with temporary gravel placed afterward. 

Concrete driveways will be poured after the base course of asphalt is placed on the remaining segment of Ramblewood Dr and Countrywood Ct. Concrete driveways will be inaccessible for a minimum of 3 days while the concrete cures. Residents may park on the road during this time.

Asphalt drives will be paved when the top course of asphalt is placed throughout Ramblewood and all cul-de-sacs.

Base course paving for Ramblewood and Countrywood Ct is scheduled for Tuesday, July 28. Please expect delays during this work.

Winddrift/Maple Leaf - Sanitary mainline installation is complete up to the intersection of Winddrift and Maple Leaf.

The contractor will proceed south on Maple Leaf to approximately 6293 Maple Leaf. Crews will then return to Winddrift and continue west to approximately 6389 Winddrift.

Road restoration on Winddrift is underway. Access from Ramblewood is expected to be partially restored by the end of the day on July 24. Please refer to the interactive map for current closure details. 

Bramble/Rose Arbour/Redbud - Pavement removals are tentatively scheduled for the week of July 27 in the following areas:

• Bramble Dr, starting at H Ave and proceeding south
• Rose Arbour, from the cul-de-sac to 9th St
• Redbud Trail

Please expect delays during this work.

Ramblewood Dr will be restored to gravel and fully open to Torrington Rd by end of day 7/17. Base paving of the remaining segment of Ramblewood Dr is expected to occur in early August. 

Work will begin on Winddrift Ave the morning of 7/20. Residents at 2597 Ramblewood, 6208, 6209, 6232, and 6233 Winddrift will need to park vehicles on Ramblewood North of Winddrift or on Winddrift towards Maple Leaf the evening of 6/19. 

Ramblewood Dr mainline sanitary sewer installation will be completed today. Redline will continue working on individual laterals and rebuilding the roadbed of Ramblewood Dr and Countrywood Ct to gravel base.  Driveway replacement work throughout Ramblewood and all adjacent cul-de-sacs is starting today with removals. Concrete driveway approaches will be replaced with concrete and asphalt approaches will be paved with the roadway. After new concrete is placed it will need to cure approximately 3 days before residents may drive over it. During this time residents may park in the road directly in front of their homes. 

Pavement removals will begin Monday 7/13 on the east end of Winddrift Ave, from the Ramblewood Dr intersection up to 6364 Winddrift Ave and on eastern section of Maple Leaf Ave from Winddrift Ave intersection south to 6293 Maple Leaf/first curve. Mainline sanitary sewer installation will then immediate follow on Winddrift Ave starting at the Ramblewood intersection (expected Tuesday 7/14).

We cannot stress this enough, please remember to follow all safety guidelines in the construction area. Please do not allow children to play on or near any construction equipment or materials at any time. Do not stand within 30 feet of equipment (hazard zone) while work is occurring – this is an OSHA requirement. 

The contractor will stop work early Thursday afternoon for the holiday weekend. From Thursday afternoon, Ramblewood will be open to residents from 2430 Ramblewood north, while residents at 2404 Ramblewood and south will need to enter and exit via Torrington.

Starting Sunday evening 7/5, residents at 2404, 2396, 2368, 2365, and 2336 Ramblewood should park on the west side of Ramblewood near or past Countrywood Ct.

Paving up to approximately 2552 Ramblewood Dr. including Karabrooke Ct will be completed by the end of the day. Please do not park on the new pavement overnight as it will need some additional time to cool. There may be bumps at driveway approaches after paving. Please enter/exit slowly. This will be temporary until we begin driveway replacement and other related work. 

Mainline sanitary sewer installation will stop for this week near 2445 Ramblewood and focus will shift to installing laterals and re-building the road from 2552 Ramblewood to the South to restore access to as many residents as possible for the weekend. 

The week of 6/29 will be a shorter holiday week. Redline will be working to restore as much of Ramblewood as possible to provide access through the holiday weekend. 

We recognize that more sprinkler damage has occurred than anticipated. Many systems in this neighborhood were installed closer to the edge of pavement than we’ve seen on past projects, which has made avoiding damage more difficult. The Township and Redline Excavating will continue working to limit impacts while keeping the project moving as efficiently as possible.

We also understand residents are eager to repair damaged sprinklers and landscaping. However, we strongly advise waiting until after the top course of pavement is installed in the next two months. This will significantly reduce the risk of new damage from remaining construction activities.

Redline will be placing topsoil, grading, adjusting lateral riser heights, and seeding/hydroseeding up to and shortly after the top course of asphalt is paved. Top course of asphalt is intended to be later in the summer so we can do as much as possible at once and minimize the number of joints which become failure points in the pavement over the years. We appreciate your patience as we complete this work and restore yards once construction is finished.

Please review the safety guidelines at the link below. Our goal is to maintain a safe work zone for residents and members of the crews throughout the project. 

Construction Site Safety Guidelines(PDF, 520KB)

Construction on Ramblewood between Winddrift Ave and Countrywood Ct will progress slower than previous segments due to the depth of the sanitary main and the road layout. Residents may have extended periods of limited driveway access. Redline will work to restore access as quickly as possible. 

Redline is planning to install a segment of sanitary sewer in Winddrift Ave from the Ramblewood intersection this week. This will allow the intersection to remain open when construction resumes down Winddrift Ave to the West later this season. 

Construction is continuing South along Ramblewood from Winddrift. Starting Sunday evening 6/14 residents at 2573/2582 Ramblewood will need to park on the street South of their driveways on the East side of the road. Construction will extend to 2535/2538 Ramblewood by the end of the week. Access will be restored to driveways as soon as possible. 

Base paving of Ramblewood from H Ave up to Karabrooke Ct, including Ashwood Dr is now complete. Restoration activities will take place in the coming weeks and final paving later this Summer. 

Karabrooke Ct access is expected to be restored by end of day 6/5 and residents will be able to utilize Ramblewood to the North to enter/exit via H Ave. 

Sewer main line work will continue next week on Ramblewood Dr to the Winddrift Ave intersection. Before continuing past Winddrift Ave, the contractor will pause mainline work and shift focus to installing laterals and restoring access to residents between Karabrooke Ct and Winddrift Ave.  

Residents between Karabrooke Ct and Winddrift Ave may now park on the newly paved section of Ramblewood, or on Winddrift through the weekend. 

Ashwood Dr is expected to be reopened on 5/29. More unsuitable soils must be removed than anticipated and that has slowed road building. 

Ramblewood Dr is expected to be restored up to Karabrooke Ct by end of day 5/29.

Work on Karabrooke Ct will begin Monday, 6/1. Residents should park on Winddrift until access is restored. Work is expected to take 3-4 days depending on soil conditions.

A new segment of pavement will be removed from Ramblewood starting on 6/2. There will still be access after the pavement is removed. Expect some delays during this activity.  

Ramblewood and Ashwood Dr are tentatively scheduled for base paving on 6/4. There will be intermittent disruptions to access during this activity. 

Construction activities will be stopping for the week around 3 pm on Friday 5/22 in preparation for the holiday weekend. No work will be performed on Memorial Day. 

H Ave will be reopened the afternoon of Friday 5/22. Ramblewood Dr North of Ashwood Dr will have limited access restored for residents for the Holiday weekend. 

Work in the Ashwood Dr cul-de-sac will begin on Tuesday 5/26. Residents should plan to park their vehicles on Ramblewood Dr South of Ashwood Dr the evening of Monday 5/25. Access directly to driveways will be restored as soon as possible.

Redline has begun sanitary sewer install in Ramblewood Dr. Crews expect to reach the intersection of Ashwood Dr by end of day 5/20. Residents on Ramblewood will need to park South of construction while Ramblewood is rebuilt. Limited access from H Ave to driveways will be restored as soon as possible.

Residents may have received a wooden stake painted green at their front door. This is to mark the connection point for your home. If you need assistance, please contact Public Works or the onsite inspector from Fleis & Vandenbrink.

Redline Excavating will begin pavement removals on Ramblewood Dr starting at H Ave and working South on Friday, 5/15. Residents will retain access to their driveways during this work.

Sanitary sewer installation work is planned to begin on Monday, 5/18. The intersection of H Ave and Ramblewood Dr will be closed during this process and detours will be posted.
