Construction of storm sewer improvements along Mentor Avenue, Stockbridge Road, and Dartmoor Road will begin the week of February 15, 2021, weather permitting. The project will consist of removing existing 12-inch storm sewer on Stockbridge and Dartmoor Roads and replacing it with new 24-inch and 30-inch storm sewer on both streets. A new 30 and 36-inch storm sewer will also be installed down Mentor Avenue from Stockbridge Road to an existing culvert crossing in the vicinity of Advance Auto Parts just west of Dartmoor Rd.
Project limits on Dartmoor Rd. will be between Mentor Ave. to approximately 8029 Dartmoor Rd. Project limits on Stockbridge Rd. will be between Mentor Ave. to approximately 7995 Stockbridge Rd. Bentley Excavating from Painesville, Ohio will be performing the work. Construction inspection and daily project management will be performed by CT Consultants of Mentor, Ohio.
Initial work will consist of survey and layout work, traffic signage, and saw-cutting of the existing roadway surface in advance of storm sewer installation. Storm sewer work starting on Mentor Avenue will begin on or about the week of February 15, 2021. Work on Stockbridge and Dartmoor Roads will follow shortly thereafter. The duration of the project including pavement replacement and restoration will be approximately 3 months. The completion date for the project is scheduled for May 28, 2021.
During construction, Dartmoor and Stockbridge Roads will be closed to through traffic (local traffic will be maintained). On Mentor Avenue, both east bound and west bound traffic will be confined to the curb lanes. At the end of each day, both west bound lanes will be open, but east bound traffic will remain confined to the curb lane. Minor short-term delays while the contractor is working in the roadway should be expected.
Property owners will be notified via a “door hanger” of anticipated interruptions in utility services and/or temporary drive access restrictions by the contractor as needed. If there are any underground facilities such as sprinkler systems or invisible dog fencing systems on the property, please contact D.B. Bentley, Inc. at 440-352-8495 to advise them. These underground facilities will need to be marked prior to construction.
