The removal of trees has been completed along the entirety of the site at Cambria, including along the embankment by the old depot building and along the access road. You may still see tree stumps across the site; those are still being cleared. The removal of trees along the north side of the tracks is underway to make room for the jack and bore machines. Jack and bore machines are used for installing pipes and other underground structures by digging a borehole beneath the surface, minimizing above-ground impact. Precast drainage structures and steel casing pipes have been delivered, these will be used for the jack and bore operations, which are scheduled to begin the week of June 16th.
Construction crews have begun to remove the existing tracks east of the new Norfolk Southern Maintenance of Way building, all the way down to the far eastern end of the project at the access road connection to Depot Street.
The proposed access road has been roughly graded. Rough grading is one of the ways construction crews prepare the subgrade, or the ground, for roadbed materials and the eventual finish grading. You will continue to see large construction vehicles grading, filling, and excavating at different areas around the site as construction progresses.
