  • Islands, curbs and gutter will be poured in the garage.
  • BGE has made good progress and completed their work to move the overhead line this week.
  • Front stairs are framed and have been poured.
  • Drywall layout is finished.
  • Framing of exterior walls will begin next week.
  • The timber framing subcontractor is expected to be on site install the roof beams beginning April 10, 2023.

The foundation is 95% complete for the new Twin Beaches Branch. In the foreground of the picture below, you can see the base of the stairs/planter boxes that will go to the front door and the beginnings of the elevator shaft taking shape behind them. Walls and columns will be coming in the next two weeks.

Construction activity continues at the site of the new Twin Beaches Branch Library. Contractors have been working on the initial excavation and grading work and utility relocation. The new sewer, water and stormwater utilities have been installed. Once underground wires are relocated, the construction site will be more active. Heads up! The sidewalk on Chesapeake Avenue is closed in front of the construction site. Pedestrians walking on Chesapeake Avenue should cross the street in the crosswalk at 5th Street or 7th Street to avoid walking in the roadway.
