Even if the contractor is not
found to be at fault, the cost
for all this work and repair will
not fall to the city. As with
most any major construction
project with the city, the con-
tractors are required to post a
two year maintenance bond to
protect the city against poor
workmanship.
Right now theeast bound
side of Wyndhaven is
detoured to the west bound
side, turning the four lane
road into two lanes. How long
that will last is not yet clear.
“We have to wait for the
report from the geo techs,”
said Saldana, “to figure out
what needs to be done.”
