information from King County

King County contractors recently finished the base of the underground storage tank, completing the last large concrete pour for the project. Crews are now preparing for smaller concrete pours to construct of the outer wall of the tank.

Concrete pours for the outer wall are weather dependent and will occur on Thursdays in February and March. In order to keep the project on schedule, the contractor will be working on some Saturdays. Work hours on Saturdays are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Up to 20 trucks a day will deliver concrete to the site on pour days— about as many trucks as were previously on site each hour for the tank base pours. Pours will occur between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Work will continue past 6 p.m. if necessary to complete the pour. One concrete pump truck on the east side of the 7000 block of Beach Dr. S.W. will pump concrete into the hole. Local and emergency access to Beach Drive S.W. and Lincoln Park Way S.W. will be maintained at all times. Expect traffic delays and congestion on pour days.

· Work hours between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m.
· Work will continue past 6 p.m. if necessary to complete the pour
· Crews working on the east side of Beach Dr. S.W. near Lowman Beach Park
