Keene staff: County Road 317 preconstruction complete, work to start mid-September
Summary
City staff told the Keene EDC board that a preconstruction meeting for County Road 317 was held, contractor submittals are underway, and crews are expected to begin work in mid-September with most daytime closures and a contract completion target in mid-January.
City staff updated the Keene Economic Development Corporation (EDC) on the County Road 317 improvements, saying the contractor and engineers met in preconstruction and are completing submittals for concrete mixes, storm boxes and a traffic-control plan.
"They're looking probably the middle of September to get started," staff member Don told the board, adding that the contractor will likely begin with storm drains and storm boxes and that the road will be closed to most traffic during daytime operations. Don said the county owns a portion of the road and has coordinated a chip-seal overlay for its segment.
Board members asked about budget and timing; staff said no change orders have been filed to date and that the contract completion date is mid-January barring weather. Staff said they will publish an operations schedule two weeks before work begins so residents can plan for daytime closures. The board also discussed signage, traffic control and limited staging space alongside one nearby residence.
The update did not include a final, itemized budget breakdown in the public report. Chair asked staff to continue updating the board as submittals are approved and to notify the public about staged closures and expected impacts.
