The lane closures began on Monday, 1/13, and all lanes are reopened daily upon completion of work. • The Ascon community resource table in Edison Park and offsite air monitoring personnel are out in the community this month.
Upcoming work:
• Excavation and grading along the northern end of the Site, an area with a higher potential for odor, is planned upon completion of the 16-foot barrier wall. Excavation and grading in this area is expected to continue through most of 2025.
