Impacts to individual properties will vary by property. Some property owners may expect to experience the removal of trees, bushes, and vegetation as well as grading and earthwork. Some property owners will experience the removal and replacement of driveways.

Access to properties will be maintained throughout construction. During brief periods, it will be necessary to remove and reconstruct individual driveways. At which time, access will be restricted for generally 2-4 days. During this restriction, the contractor team will work with individual property owners to ensure suitable access to properties.
