CORRECTION: LIPA EMERGENCY WORK COMPLETED |
|
The work below has been completed.
*************
The Village was informed on Tuesday, November 15th that the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) will be working in the vicinity of Washington Avenue and Transverse Road for approximately six (6) to nine (9) weeks to repair a major underground electrical cable that was determined to be in need of emergency replacement.
The Village's Director of Public Works, Robert Mangan, Superintendent of Water and Sewer Services, Frank Koch and Sgt. Grimes of the Police Department met with representatives of LIPA, Nassau County and Bancker Construction prior to the beginning of the emergency repair work. Bancker Construction will be excavating and shoring two concrete road panels south of Transverse Road and on the east side of Washington Avenue. Every effort will be made to keep traffic delays and interruption to area residents to a minimum.
Nassau County has allowed the emergency contractor, Bancker Construction, to work from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. due to the critical nature of the work. As of this writing, a traffic detour is being set up and the excavation will begin. Bancker will be going door-to-door to alert the residents involved concerning their access to Washington Avenue. As the Village receives more information from LIPA and Bancker, it will be placed on our website - www.gardencitynv.net. on the homepage, by clicking on "Village Alert Messages". I will also include updates in this colurun as well. If you require any further information, please call the Department of Public Works at 465- 4004. |
