Construction work will take place near the West Hollywood Shopping Plaza

Residents and people visiting the area near the West Hollywood Shopping Plaza can expect noise and vibration from construction work.

The installation of steel sheet piling will take place in the area surrounding the newly excavated drainage pond behind the West Hollywood Shopping Plaza at the southwest corner of the State Road Seven and  US 441 intersection.

Work began Monday, February 2 and is expected to be completed this month. This activity is noisy and causes vibration. These conditions will be monitored by the project team to ensure that they are in accordance with vibration standards and local noise ordinances to minimize inconvenience to local residents and businesses.  

People who live in or own property within a few hundred feet of the construction zone will probably hear and feel the effects of vibrating and operating construction equipment. Project personnel surveyed properties within 200 feet of sheet pile driving operations to assess and document the pre-construction condition of existing structures. 

Project personnel will monitor vibration during construction to ensure safe levels and specifications are not exceeded.  The condition of existing structures will also be monitored and reassessed upon completion of the sheet pile installation.
