Noise Alert Nov. 24-25: Linden Street and loading doc road work
On Nov. 24 and 25, W. M. Jordan will start modifying the approach from Linden Street to the new loading dock on the west side of Cabell Library.
The slope is too steep for large box trucks to back down to the loading dock from Linden Street.
On Nov. 24, they will saw cut a section of the concrete along the Linden Street curb that has to be jack hammered and removed. This will be noisy. On Nov. 25, they will jack hammer the concrete into rubble.
Although this work is outside, it’s likely the sound will be heard within old Cabell Library and on the first and second floors of the new building spaces.
The next steps, which won’t be as noisy, will be to remove the rubble, re-shape the grade in the section where the concrete was removed to make it less steep and then pour new concrete.
Need earplugs: As for them at the front desk. They’re free.
