Construction Status for St Joe Center Project

Below are some of the pictures of the progress for the St Joe Center project.  This page will be updated as often as possible with new pictures and the project status.

Work continues on the St Joe Center project, and the storm sewer is moving closer to completion.  This is a reminder that starting Monday (August 4th), St Joe Road will be closed for the week.  St Joe should be opened up again on the 9th or 10th of August.  Motorists are advised to take the posted detour, and delays are to be expected.  LSI is also working behind Fleming, relocating the fiber optics duct that runs along St Joe Center.  Storm sewer installation as well as the relocation of the fiber duct should be completed by the end of August.  After these two tasks are finished, temporary widening will begin.  The widening will begin about September 1st, and be completed around September 15th.  This should hopefully alleviate some of the traffic congestion during the remainder of the year, but does not guarantee that delays will completely go away. 
Check back here later for some pictures of the project.

*****Drivers, please take note of the following message*****

ST. JOE ROAD TO CLOSE TEMPORARILY FOR STORM SEWER INSTALLATION

Drivers encouraged to use Evard, Reed detour

Fort Wayne, Ind.St. Joseph Road, north of the St. Joseph Center Road intersection, will close for up to seven days, depending on weather, later this month as part of the St. Joe Center widening project, for installation of a storm sewer line.

The City’s contractor will cut an open trench across St. Joe Road along the north side of St. Joe Center to install a sewer main, instead of the original plan to bore a tunnel for the pipe, based on soil conditions.

The City recommends drivers use the marked detours on Evard and Reed roads to travel around the pipe crossing. The entrances to the Riviera Plaza shopping center and the Doc Ricker’s convenience store will remain open. The tentative start date for this road closure is August 4th, and road will be closed for approximately one (1) week.

It has been quite a while since this page has been updated, and much has changed. Fleming has finished installing the water services, and after some initial difficulties the storm sewer has begun. This process could take us to the middle of July or later, but once this process is finished the road construction can begin. Fleming has recently made it past Becker Street with their installation of the storm sewer, and should be approaching Shell Drive within the next day or so. While this work is being performed, St Joe Center will be limited to one way traffic at the work location, and any side streets connecting to St Joe Center may be periodically closed during the work day.

The water main has been completed, and is connected to the old water main.  The services have yet to be completed due to some problems with the testing, but should be completed sometime within the next couple of weeks.  Once the water services are  connected Fleming can begin work on the storm sewer installation, and Verizon will begin the work to relocate their duct.  LSI has also completed the installation of the new signal at the intersection of St Joe Center and St Joe Roads.

It has been about a month since the last update, and much has changed on St. Joe Center.  Fleming has completed the water main crossings across St. Joe Center, and within the next couple of days the line will be tapped.  Though there will still be a couple of weeks of testing for the new water main, the construction aspect should be completed early this week.  After this testing is completed, Fleming will move widening the road and then installing the storm sewer.  This process should take about as long as the installation of the water main.

Lowe should be on-site within a week or so, to finish up the boring for the storm sewer.  This work was suspended due to poor soil conditions, that have hopefully been resolved due to design change.

Fleming has been installing the water main during the last couple of weeks, and be about half way through the main installation at the end of this week.  AEP and the other utilities are in the midst of relocating the overhead lines along St. Joe Center.  This work is being done in preparation for the boring pits that will be dug out starting in March.
