During water main installation, the contractor will be excavating along the entire length of the roadway in lieu of across the roadway. This will pose additional challenges in traveling along the roadway due to the construction equipment on-site and excavations on the side of the road. Also, those residents that live adjacent to where the working is occurring during the day, access to your driveway will be temporarily restricted as the excavation occurs in front of your driveway. Residents affected by temporary driveway closures will be notified by knocking on your doors and asking to move any vehicles from the driveway or garage prior to excavation occurring. We will do everything possible to limit the travel delays along Longvalley road, but please use care and allow a little extra time. The excavations will be filled at the end of each day, so access to all driveways and the roadway will be restored.

Due to the construction, an existing ComEd electrical line was hit causing a power-outage in the area. The incident is still under investigation regarding the reasons for the electrical line being hit. The good news is no injuries occurred on-site. We apologize for any inconvenience this interruption in electrical service caused.

Thanks again for all your patience and understanding as you live within a construction area.
