[quote=Anonymous]Like PP said, it will happen quicker in your street but you cannot time it to the exact day, which is really frustrating, unless you ask the foreman of the team when you see them in your neighborhood - they will have the best idea of when the work will move to your street. Some people on the team might not speak English (or pretend not to, to avoid dealing with irritated homeowners!). The foreman usually has great English.

Last year we had weeks and weeks of water main replacement, when they would come without warning, shut off the water, drill into the street, etc. They had issued a blanket warning about replacing water mains, but it went from 2025 to 2026, with a break for winter! They did knock on our door the day they dug a huge hole at the end of our driveway to connect the new water main to our pipes. With the holes in the street and their heavy equipment blocking everything, there were days when we could not use our driveway and had to find parking elsewhere. Some days we did not get mail or deliveries, but that wasn't as much of a hassle as I thought - the postman made a later round sometimes or delivered the next day.

Also, the jackhammering made our entire house shake. I was a bit worried about that.
