Work planned to correct Orange Street intersection deficiencies

The City of Redlands has met with contractors who performed resurfacing work on Orange Street over the summer and work will begin May 21 to correct deficiencies in the brick paver intersections along the street. As part of the Downtown Reinvestment Program, the Orange Street and Redlands Boulevard Resurfacing, Sidewalk and Landscaping Improvement Project installed brick pavers in the intersections located on Orange Street at Pearl Avenue, Stuart Avenue, Shoppers Lane, Redlands Boulevard and State Street.

Following completion of the work, the City identified deficiencies in the intersections, including settlement of the brick pavers that did not meet the City’s contract specifications for the work. City personnel met with the construction contractor, All-American Asphalt Company, to remedy the settlement and install replacement brick pavers to provide a high quality finished product. All corrective actions will be the responsibility of the contractor and the City will not incur any additional costs. The corrective work will be done in phases on the following schedule:

Phase I: Intersection of Orange Street & State Street. Work is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. Saturday, May 21, and is anticipated to conclude Wednesday afternoon, May 25.
