Expect heavier than normal large-vehicle traffic on the Accelerator
Site today, especially on CEBAF Blvd. (down the center of the
Accelerator Site).<br>
<br>
The following sections of Accelerator Site roads will be closed
intermittently between March 7 and 9, Wednesday through Friday.<br>
-- CEBAF Blvd. from east of the Free-Electron Laser Facility to the
Canon Blvd. gate.<br>
-- Bohr Blvd. (Accelerator ring road) from the northeast corner of
the East Arc through Bohr Blvd. South to the South Linac entrance to
the Central Helium Liquefier, Bldg. 8.<br>
<br>
<b>These closures won't affect access to the Experimental Staging
building (Bldg. 23); the Hall D Complex; Halls A, B and C; the
Counting House or Building 98.</b><br>
<br>
Please heed all detour signs and road closure devices.<br>
<br>
For more information, please read below:<br>
<br>
Temporary closures to sections of roads on the Accelerator Site will
likely occur Wednesday through Friday, March 7-9, during the
delivery of the first of two cold box assemblies to be installed at
the CHL.<br>
<br>
A 60 foot long tractor trailer delivering the 100,000 pound cold box
will enter the Accelerator Site via Canon Blvd likely by late
Tuesday. By early Wednesday morning please expect CEBAF Blvd. – from
east of the FEL to the Canon Blvd. gate – to be closed. This will
also trigger closing the Accelerator ring road (Bohr Blvd.) from the
northeast corner of the East Arc to the CHL entrance adjacent to the
South Linac on Bohr Blvd. South.<br>
<br>
Two very large cranes will be set up today near the intersection of
the East Arc and CEBAF Blvd. The cranes will be used on Tuesday to
transfer the cold box from the over-the-road tractor trailer to a
tractor trailer that can carry the cold box to the back (south) side
of the CHL. <br>
<br>
After the cold box has been loaded to the delivery tractor trailer
the two cranes will also be moved and repositioned behind the CHL.
The process of moving the cranes and the cold box down Bohr Blvd.
South will take several hours. <br>
<br>
The east end of CEBAF Blvd. and the road over the East Arc will
re-open as soon as the tractor trailers and cranes have cleared the
area. Bohr Blvd. South to the CHL will re-open after both cranes and
the tractor trailer have pulled into the CHL.<br>
<br>
Pedestrians won't be able to walk around the transfer operation and
won't be permitted behind the CHL during the set up and unloading.<br>
<br>
The entire area behind the CHL will be considered a construction
zone. Access to the area will be restricted to authorized personnel
and will require specified personal protective equipment.<br>
<br>
Individuals needing more information may contact Bill Hunewill or
Scott Thompson, Engineering Division.<br>
<br>
This is part of the CHL upgrade as part of the 12 GeV Upgrade
project.<br>
