Thayer Street Improvement Construction Update 7.7.14

We apologize for the delay in the opening of Thayer Street this morning.  The work plan was to complete operations by 11:00 A.M.   However, the Contractor encountered some equipment problems during the night which delayed work.  We will be reviewing with the City the current allowable work hours on Thayer Street from 1:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M.  in an effort to minimize and to mitigate impacts and delays.  We again apologize for any inconvenience the delay may have caused.

Also, we have provided the updated summary of the roadway improvements proposed within the area of the Thayer Street and Brown University.
