Contractors warn of utility relocation and temporary street closures near Bibb County jail site
Summary
Warren Associates and the design team said water-main relocations and street closures are required for the expansion footprint; contractors asked nearby residents for patience and said some inconvenience is part of progress.
Warren Associates and designers told attendees that major water mains run under the proposed building footprint and must be relocated, and they asked residents to "bear with us a little bit" during excavation and utility work. The contractor said some local streets have been closed for the work and that crews tried to leave other streets open when possible.
Officials said the Macon Water Authority donated piping and valves at no cost to the county, and contractors said the in-kind value was "probably over 100 to $150,000." They warned that digging below current grade may uncover surprises and asked for community patience as crews move forward with phased construction work.
