June 2025 Construction Update

It's been another busy month at the construction site! Major activities this month included installing retaining walls and finishing the grading of the ramp, pouring the building foundation footings and formwork, and working on connecting utilities to the site! See photos below for more.

(1) This month, Bluff Lake staff and board members had the chance to visit the construction site and get a tour! Here we are standing on the new accessible ramp.

(2) Here you can see the graded out ramp trail as well as two of the retaining walls, which are used to stabilize the slope.

(3) The team gets a tour of the site! We are standing on the east side of the buildings looking through the Gateway towards the lake.

(4) The buildings are going vertical! Here you can see the building footings and formwork at the Outdoor Classroom! Formwork are the molds into which concrete or similar materials are poured. In the insert photo, you can see a rendering of the Outdoor Classroom.

(5-left) (6-right) For the first time ever, Bluff Lake has utilities! The photo on the left shows trenches being dug to install utility conduits. The photo on the right shows the work being done digging under MLK to connect to utilities on the south side of the road. We know this road closure was a major inconvenience for our neighbors and we really appreciate everyone's understanding!
