Wilshire/Fairfax decking 2017
Wilshire/Fairfax Decking: What You Need to Know what is decking? The Purple Line Extension Transit Project has been engaged in construction activities along Wilshire Bl and Fairfax Av since May 2014. Work began with advanced utility relocation (AUR), followed by major subway construction in late 2016 with pile installation. The underground piles will provide structural support for the excavation of the subway station box at Wilshire/Fairfax. The next step following piling is decking. Decking is a construction process that entails excavating the street and sidewalks, and replacing them with temporary concrete deck panels on top. This will allow traffic to continue to flow, while maintaining access to sidewalks and driveways as construction continues underground. In the Wilshire/Fairfax area, decking will occur on Wilshire Bl stretching from Odgen Dr, thru the Fairfax Av intersection, to San Diego Wy. This work – excavating Wilshire Bl and placing steel beams and deck panels across the street – will occur over 18 weekends starting in February 2017. Sidewalk access will be maintained; however, some infrequent closures may occur depending on the nature of the work.
work is scheduled in three phases Phase 1: Wilshire Bl, Spaulding Av to Fairfax Av Phase 2: Wilshire Bl/Fairfax Av Intersection Phase 3: Wilshire Bl, Fairfax Av to Crescent Heights Bl
