Reduced Median for Traffic - September 2014


A third turning lane is announced and trees are removed on April 18

Summer passes, then work finally begins on September 10th

Happy to see that some of the median will remain afterall

A week of rain begins on September 12th

Hurricane Odile batters Cabo San Lucas and then brings us rain

Rain falls for almost a full week

Standing water in the excavated median on September 17th

Water has been prevent further work for almost a week

Very heavy rain floods the neighborhood streets on the 18th

Water is still present on the Saturday the 20th

City determines the road was damaged and remove it on the 24th

The concrete is busted up and will be removed tomorrow

The weather has not been our friend in this process

Filling the hole on the 26th, original section near intersection undamaged

Pull over to photo the progress on return

Ground is prepared for rebar placement prior to concrete pour

Ground is ready for rebar on Saturday, September 27th

Curb broken up and ground prepared for new concrete on October 1st

Crew levels the ground and preps the boards on October 2nd

Dirt in place and ready for leveling out

Last of October 2nd, spread that dirt to prep the concrete pour

Rebar is in place on October 4th

Do need a little more board work before the concrete pour

All boards in place on October 5th

Now just await the concrete truck and men with rakes

Three days later, the concrete still hasn't arrived on October 8th

Is that rust I see on the rebar?   For shame!

Concrete poured on the 9th and still drying on October 10th

Not solid enough for cars to roll over yet

New boards in place for the curb pour on October 13th

Lane still blocked off in preparation for the curb pour

Curbs poured and drying on October 15th

Curbs are painted and boards removed on October 18th

Hope the plants added or grow back by the middle of spring
