Though the work isn’t as involved as the construction of other sound walls built by the department in the past – this wall will be built by clearing the land with a small excavator and setting form panels, where others required drilling and construction of large concrete posts – the work will still be near the property lines of those adjacent to the highway.
A sound wall will be built along the edge of the right-of-way, seperating north-bound Loop 1604 from the homes in The Village at Big Country. |
Project supervisors with Capital Excavation have agreed to keep equipment quiet until 7 a.m., and they plan to shut down operations daily by 5:30 in the evening. No night work is planned, including the concrete pours – all the work should be done during the daytime hours. The wall will be built by December, weather permitting.
