The site contractor as an urgent need to remove a piece of equipment from the project tomorrow morning 7/31 and due to it’s size needs to be on the road at 5:00AM.

As completed with similar events the equipment & trailer will be loaded today 7/30 and will be parked at Gate C of the project site; Dartmouth Road. 

Transport personnel & truck will be onsite by 5:00AM to hook-up to the trailer for transport.  The transport truck will enter the project site via Gate C, hook-up to the trailer and exit the same way to West Shore Drive to Route 114.  The truck’s lights and back-up alarm will be turned off in an effort to minimize any disruption to the neighborhood.

The project apologizes in advance of the late notice but this need and request just materialized for all parties.
