Activity at the Physics site

On Wednesday, Sept. 16. in between 9 am and 12 pm, a drilling rig will be brought to the physics project construction site. This will block Entrance 21 between the parking lot and Campanile Road allowing the contractor to off-load the drilling rig from the trailer. The entrance to the parking lot will remain open. A brief five to ten minute interruption to traffic along Campanile will occur as the drilling rig is driven onto the construction site. The total operation from start to finish is not expected to last more than one hour. Once the rig is onsite, the trailer will stage in the stadium parking lot.

In between 2 pm and 5 pm, the operation will be reversed as the rig leaves the site. Again, a brief interruption to traffic along Campanile Road at the site entry will take place as the rig loads to the trailer. The contractor will have additional flag persons on site to assist and direct traffic as necessary.

On Thursday, Sept. 17. in between 9 am and 12 pm, an additional construction trailer will be brought to the site. A brief five to 10 minute interruption to traffic along Campanile Road should be expected while the trailer is negotiated onto the site. Additional flag persons will be on site to assist with traffic during this time.
