ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - A portion of the sidewalk on W. Broad Avenue will be closed during the construction of the Davis Exchange building.

The Davis Exchange building is located at 102 N. Washington Street. To assist with the work, Sheridan Construction will be installing an external trash chute and dumpster on the eastern corner of the building on W. Broad Avenue.

Sheridan Construction has implemented the following safety protocols while construction is underway.

• Rerouting of pedestrian traffic utilizing barricades and fencing that meet or exceed applicable safety and ADA guidelines.
• Clear and visible safety signage to warn and direct the public around the construction zone.
• Secure perimeter fencing to restrict unauthorized entry into active work areas.
• Daily inspections by our site-safety personnel to ensure continued compliance with OSHA standards, City ordinances, and Sheridan Construction’s internal safety protocols.
• Immediate corrective action procedures should any condition arises that may compromise public safety or impede pedestrian flow.

The external trash chute and dumpster are temporary and will remain until the completion of the renovation of the Davis Exchange building.
