Show Orchard Dri ve open again for motorists in Bountiful BOUNTIFUL If you haven't already discovered, Orchard Drive is open again to through traffic. "A construction site at Mill Street and Orchard Drive, just south of Bountiful High School, has been hard-packed and is open to through traffic again," according to City Manager Tom Hardy. He noted, however, that the street is not resurfaced and cannot be surfaced until warm weather prevails so motorists are urged to take extreme care, especially when inclement weather makes the hard-packed surface very slick. Mr. Hardy said it was necessary to tear up Orchard Drive at that location to remove and replace larger storm drain lines (under the road) which serve the city's storm drain retention basin on the east side of Orchard Drive. The street was torn up for about a month to allow for the work to be completed rather than having the street in disrepair over a much longer period of time during construction of the storm drain project, the city manager explained. |
