Park Avenue Sewer Pipeline Update

Traffic control restrictions and saw cutting of asphalt began earlier this month to prepare Park Avenue for excavation as part of HRSD’s replacement of aging sanitary sewer pipelines and public sewer connections on Park Avenue. After excavation is completed, contractors will begin work beneath the pavement to install new sewer lines. Construction work is expected to occur Monday – Friday between the hours of 7 AM – 5 PM.

As stated in Construction Notice #21, traffic on Park Avenue will be restricted between Hull Street and Jackson Avenue during this phase of the pipeline replacement project to ensure safety around the construction area. Additionally, the road between Bainbridge Boulevard and Hull Street is currently restricted until August. Beginning in mid-July and extending through August, no street parking is allowed between Hull Street and Stewart Street.

No vehicles will be able to drive through on Park Avenue between Hull Street and Jackson Street during this phase. 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. Work is expected to be completed by late 2023.

While the contractors are working, you may hear noises such as drilling, 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 will be restored to their pre-construction structure and materials.
