Semana de proyectos de construcción de Hoboken del 6 de julio

Hoboken is continuing with a number of quality of life projects this week.  City Hall has provided a list of updates on the City’s water main upgrades to replace 7,000 linear feet of Hoboken’s oldest water mains, construction on the 5-acre Northwest Resiliency Park and flood infrastructure, South Waterfront Walkway Rehabilitation, new playground safety surface at Elysian Park, and the renovation of the Maxwell Park dog run to replace the existing gravel with a modern synthetic turf surface.

Water main Infrastructure Upgrades

The City continues with the first phase of its water main replacement project, which will replace a total of 15 blocks, or 7,000 linear feet of Hoboken’s oldest water mains. The following activities are anticipated the week of 7/6 to 7/10/2020:

• Lunes 7/6/2020 a viernes 7/10/2020: calle Monroe entre la 3a y la 4a^thLa calle estará cerrada en ocasiones entre las 8 a.m. y las 5 p.m. para el traslado de servicios de agua de la vieja fuente de agua a la nueva fuente de agua.

The construction of the water mains utilizes low interest and interest free loans from the New Jersey Infrastructure Bank and does not use funding from the 2020 municipal budget. In 2019, the City entered into a contract with SUEZ that now provides for $33 million in water main upgrades through 2034, with an average of $2.2 million invested every year. More information about the water infrastructure upgrades project is available at https://www.hobokennj.gov/resources/drinking-water-infrastructure-upgrades-phase-1.  

Northwest Resiliency Park

Construction continues on the 5-acre Northwest Resiliency Park, which will be New Jersey’s largest resiliency park. The park will have above and below ground infrastructure to withhold up to 2 million gallons of rainwater to help mitigate local flooding. The following activities are anticipated this week 7/6/20 – 7/10/20:

• Los trabajos de preparación para la colocación de hormigón para la losa de fundación de un millón de galones de tanques continuarán durante toda la semana.
• La conducción de pilas comenzará para la fundación de la terraza en7/8/20y continuar a través de7/10/20– ¿ Qué ? Tenga en cuenta que esta es una actividad inherentemente ruidosa. También puede haber alguna vibración que se siente en conjunción con este trabajo. Para obtener más información sobre los protocolos de monitoreo de ruido y vibración en vigor, visite las secciones Ruido y vibraciones en la página Actualizaciones de construcción del sitio web del proyectowww.hobokennj.gov/nwpark– ¿ Qué ?
• El sistema de desagüe y tratamiento para la excavación del tanque continuará funcionando las 24 horas del día.

The City uses a combination of low interest and interest-free loans, principal forgiveness for the resiliency features, and grant money to save over $19 million over the life of the project. The Northwest Resiliency Park also utilizes the Open Space Trust Fund to pay for the construction costs of the Northwest Park, and is not utilizing any funding from the 2020 municipal budget.

South Waterfront Walkway Rehabilitation 

The South Waterfront Walkway Rehabilitation project will continue, with resetting pavers along the walkway next week. A new irrigation system has been installed and trees have been planted along the walkway, and all lighting at Pier A has been upgraded to LED. After the pavers are reset, benches will be installed in future weeks.

Maxwell Park Dog Run

The dog run at Maxwell Park will be closed starting 7/6/20 through mid-August to construct improvements. The water fountain near the dog run will also be closed.  

Upgrades include expanding the area of the dog run and replacing the gravel surface with synthetic turf, as well as adding new benches, a dual water fountain, pet waste stations, and fencing. Three trees will need to be removed for the expansion of the dog run, and six new trees will be planted. 

Site clearing is anticipated this week 7/6/20 – 7/10/20, in addition to tree removal and installation of temporary fencing.

Elysian Park Playground Safety Surface 

The northern playground remains closed as the safety surface has been removed to prepare for the installation of a new drainage system, followed by a new synthetic turf playground safety surface.

** The protection of each construction site, workers, and the general public are of the utmost priority. Contractors, construction managers, subcontractors, and suppliers are following CDC guidelines and employer policies for COVID-19 protection.**
