Activity in Construction Zones - Southeast Seminole Heights Flooding Relief Project

As construction wraps up in some areas, residents may wonder why they are still seeing activity. Much like a home remodeling project, punch-list items and final restoration remain. You may notice crews doing small housekeeping tasks or restoring residential areas that were affected. This routine cleanup work is intended to keep the construction site tidy and may include:

Repositioning barrels and detour/construction signs
Picking up trash and unused construction materials
Smoothing out ruts in unpaved roads
Filling in potholes
Smoothing and prepping the rights of way for sod
Wetting and sweeping the streets
Cleaning out curb inlets
Repairing/replacing erosion control devices & tree barricades

These activities may occur throughout the week and even on Saturdays in active construction zones.

While notice is given to residents for work directly impacting access or when heavy construction — such as pipe installation or road building — will occur outside stated hours, housekeeping items in active construction zones are not noticed. Work continues in active construction zones until all punch-list items and final restoration are completed.
