The soil tests will assist rail project staff in designing the two Waipahu area rail stations: the Waipahu Transit Center station at the intersection of Farrington Highway and Mokuola Street; and the West Loch station at the intersection of Farrington Highway and Leoku Street. The soil work will be done on weekdays between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. No traffic impacts are expected with the soil test work, which will take place on private property. Lane closures are not required for this portion of the work. Scheduled locations and dates of work are: October 14 to 26, 2011 - Waipahu Transit Center Station
October 27 to November 16, 2011 - West Loch Station
Those working, living or traveling near the work sites are advised to proceed with caution around the designated work zones and not to cross any barricades fencing off the work areas.
