Lone Wolf has been moving some equipment back into Talty over the last few days. They anticipate, as weather allows, mobilizing to finishing up based on recent direction from the city engineer.

In areas where Lone Wolf Construction has no asphalt or only one layer, expect installation of two layers upon verification of culvert placements. Our engineering firm has also been looking at drainage and is noting areas where ditch elevations need to be confirmed and adjusted. That process and rainy weather are the causes of the construction delay. Some residents have called about their drives not being asphalt or concrete. Plans called for replacing as necessary; not upgrading.

The contract states substantial completion of the project should be complete within 150 days from when work commenced in early July. An additional 30 days is allowed for overall completion.

The Phase 1 project is virtually complete aside from final verifications, paperwork and payments. The construction companies will be under a two year maintenance bond should any issue arise. The plan is to then seal coat the roadway every 6-7 years to ensure at least 30 years of service to the community.

Please keep inappropriate vehicles and motor bikes off our roadways. We often receive calls about children on four wheelers, motor bikes, etc. causing near misses with vehicles. Several adult drivers and neighbors witnessing such incidents have have serious concerns about the potential for traumatic injuries and property damage.
