ALBION – RPS Companies of Spencerport is making quick work of the demolition work for the new Taco Bell in Albion.

The company has removed a 36-foot-high water tank, as well as guard rails and chain link fencing at 118 West Ave. Part of the water tank is shown in the foreground of the top photo.

RPS brought equipment, including an excavator, to the site on Friday. On Monday it started taking down the water tank, guard rails and fencing in a parking lot that once served the former Liptons’ facility in Albion.

RPS expects to be on location for about two months doing the site work, including utility connections. Milling at the site is to start today.

Mulvey Construction is the general contractor for the new Taco Bell, which is owned by Hospitality Syracuse.

The new 2,600-foot could be ready in August. About 40 percent of the 1.33-acre lot will be green space. The chain-link fences will be replaced with ones made of wood.
