The City of Hendersonville project for the Glenbrook area subdivision is now underway. The project involves Sanitary Sewer Improvements.
The weather has affected the initial construction schedule. Pipe installation should be complete within a couple weeks. The city is rebuilding Blythe St. in the areas of the pipe installation, as the existing road base is in poor condition. Blythe St. (between 4th and 5th) should be passable in approximately 3 weeks, with paving operations commencing shortly after. In addition we are receiving estimates for the new concrete sidewalk that will be installed on Blythe St. (between 4th and 5th Avenues).
Below is a detailed timeline of the project and the projected effect on 5th Avenue and Blythe Streets.
The purpose of the above referenced project is to abandon a notoriously problematic pump station serving the Glenbrook Subdivision, located in Hendersonville, NC.
The project consists of:
· Installation of approximately 825 l.f. of 8-inch gravity sewer
· Abandonment of the existing pump station
· Repaving Blythe Street from 5th Ave. to Glenbrook Dr.
· Installation of new curb and gutter in the construction area
Successful completion of the project will eliminate an existing pump station the does not conform to current standards. This pump station has a history of frequent clogs; has limited access; and lacks a lifting system for removing pumps, creating safety issues. Execution of the project will require the closure of Blythe St., including the intersection of Blythe St. and 5th Ave. Closure of the intersection shall be limited to a maximum of 2 weeks. The remaining portion of Blythe St. shall be closed for a maximum of 80 days.
