Park Avenue Sewer Pipeline Update

Our contractors have continued to install sanitary sewer pipeline and infrastructure on Park Avenue. After completion of the jack and bore last month, they removed the sheet piles and have begun to backfill the launch pits used for that work.

In the past two weeks, excavation has occurred to install new pipeline. The contractors have also worked to install new manholes for sewer pipeline access and build new storm drains in areas where they had become broken.

Park Avenue will continue to be restricted with no through driving allowed between Hull Street and Jackson Avenue to ensure safety around the construction area. Work on Park Avenue between Bainbridge Boulevard and Hull Street has been extended, and the road is currently restricted until late 2024 at the earliest. However, although barriers will be in place, residents will be able to access their homes and alleys via Stewart Street, Decatur Street, and Rodgers Street between Jefferson Street and Holly Avenue. The pipeline work on Park Avenue is expected to be completed by late 2024.

While the contractors continue working on Park Avenue, you may hear noises such as engines, backup alarms, diesel generators and motors. Vibration monitors will be located onsite and near the construction area to ensure limited disruption to you in your residence. Your water and sewer service will not be disrupted. Dust control measures such as paving, frequent road cleaning and/or application of water will be enacted to reduce dust from becoming airborne. After construction, roadways and rights-of-way will be restored to their pre-construction structure and materials.
