News: Update on Candler Field Path Repairs
See below for an update to the repairs to the Candler Field path repairs and an update on the work to complete the new sidewalk segment under the CSX train bridge on Old Briarcliff road.
From Emory’s Campus Services:
Candler Field
• Installation of two drainage wells alongside the Candler Field path is underway and will wrap up this week.
• Construction of the drainage swale and trench drain at the path near the bollards will begin early next week. This component will be done in two stages; the first section will be the drainage swale at the access gate and the second will be the trench drain and grate at the path.
• The installation of new path lighting will begin in two weeks. Five new light poles and fixtures will be installed between the path and the creek, two new light poles and fixtures will be installed at the north side of the path near Old Briarcliff Road, and five light fixtures will be strapped to the existing field lighting poles. This work should wrap up by the third week in October.
• The path will remain open during construction but a small detour off the path will be necessary during construction of the trench and grate.
