Dear Golf Lovers near South Shaft construction site,
The New Crystal Springs Bypass Tunnel project team has been finding a number of golf balls at the South Shaft construction site off of Polhemus Road in San Mateo. The project team believes the golf balls are coming from nearby homes above the construction site.
While we understand and share a love for golf, the project team would like to remind neighbors that golf balls can pose a significant danger to workers and construction equipment at the construction site.
Fast moving golf balls can strike workers, staff or cause significant damage to construction equipment such as cranes, cars and machinery, which can cause further injury to people.
We respectfully request that who ever is hitting these golf balls toward the construction site to stop immediately.
Thank you,
New Crystal Springs Bypass Tunnel project team

TONIGHT: Early Morning Delivery at South Shaft site at Polhemus Rd in San Mateo
Early Morning Delivery to South Shaft Site in San Mateo - TONIGHT
In the early morning of Tuesday, August 10th, at approximately 1 or 2 am, a large semi-truck and flatbed trailer will arrive at the South Shaft site off of Polhemus Road and park near the office trailers. A large, special pipe section is being delivered. Because of the size of the load, the truck must travel during nighttime hours only.
The truck will pull into the main gate, drive up the paved road to the office trailer parking lot, the truck will be shut down, and will remain parked there until 7:00 am or later at which time the truck will be unloaded when the workday begins.
Several California Highway Patrol cars will accompany this special permit truck load. The Highway Patrol will temporarily close Polhemus Road for a few minutes during the delivery and reopen it as soon as the truck is off the road. Because this will take place during early morning hours, traffic delays are not anticipated.
Every effort will be made to avoid noise during delivery so not to disrupt neighbors.

New Crystal Springs Bypass Tunnel project at 79% Completion!
Great news! As of the end of June 2010, the New Crystal Springs Bypass Tunnel project has reached 79% completion! The project team reports we are making excellent progress.Installation and welding of steel pipe in the tunnel took only 4 weeks, which was less than half the time anticipated, and was completed at the end of May. Placement of backfill around the tunnel pipe was completed last week. After pipe cleaning, vertical pipe will be installed and backfilled in the South Shaft and contact grouting will be performed.
Here is a great photo taken from the bottom of the South Shaft site. Workers are guiding the new pipeline into the tunnel. You can see just how large this pipeline is when you look at these 6 foot tall men standing next to it!
Remember, you can call our 24 hour, toll free number if you ever have a question or a concern at any time of the day or night. We are here to help. The number is 866-973-1476.

South Shaft Activity
There will be new activity at the South Shaft Site beginning Wednesday morning.
The contractor will be installing shoring for the excavations necessary to install a new pipeline. Strict vibration criteria and monitoring will be followed throughout the process, so the construction management team does not expect much noise.
Just wanted to let you know because you may see some changes on the work site. Of course, let us know if you have questions or concerns.
