Hearst Road Reconstruction of West Street
The Project
The West street road reconstruction project involved the installation of storm sewers, sanitary sewer repairs, waterwork repairs, valve and hydrant replacement, new road subgrade, concrete sidewalks, concrete curbs, asphalt paving, landscaping and other related works. The project was originally scheduled to be a two‐year project.
The Challenge
The existing underground utilities (gas, hydro, telephone, cable and fiber optic) were the main challenge in completing all underground work (piping, structures, valves and hydrants, subgrade). The experience and attention to safety of our pipe crew allowed us to complete the work in a timely manner.
The Results
Villeneuve Construction proposed to the Town of Hearst to complete the project in the same calendar year. Construction began on May 28th, 2020 and was fully completed on September 21, 2020. Work consisted of the following:
