Current Traffic Impacts

For all projects:

  • Paving must be done in a warm and dry climate in order to ensure the highest quality.
  • The current state of the roads is transitional until the final paving can be completed.
  • Crews are scheduled to work 24 hours per day, unless otherwise noted, and will institute noise and odor control measures.

Decatur Boulevard between Sirius Avenue/Palmyra Avenue and Edna Avenue

Manhole rehabilitation will occur intermittently through at least February 29, with minimal lane restrictions around the work area.

Greenbriar Townhouse Way and Sandhill Road

From October 3 through at least February 29, 2012, Sandhill Road at Greenbriar Townhouse Way will be impacted by sewer work.  Work will also take place on Greenbriar Townhouse Way, resulting in a half street closure.  No parking will be allowed on Greenbriar Townhouse Way.

 South Valley View Boulevard at West Tropicana Avenue

The start of the project has been delayed until February, 2012.  New start dates and traffic impacts will be posted when available.

Laguna Vista

Construction crews will be working on manholes at Laguna Vista and Stockholm and Laguna Vista and El Camino Cabos in February.  There will be minimal traffic impacts on Laguna Vista.

Maryland Parkway and Katie    

Crews will be finishing work on the new sewer line, paving and marking.  Expect lane restrictions to continue through February 29, 2012.

Broadbent

Construction crews will be working conducting an assessment on the sewer force main.  Minimal traffic impacts while crews are working.  Work should be conducted intermittently through February 15, 2012.

Near Whitney Elementary School

Construction crews will be working on the sewer lines and conducting an assessment of the pipelines near the Whitney Elementary School.  Minimal traffic impacts while crews are working.  Work should be conducted intermittently through February 15, 2012.

How the sewer pipeline rehabilitation process works:

Thanks to technology advances, we are able to complete some of our rehabilitation work without opening trenches in the streets.The process begins with videotaping the sewer pipes to determine which areas need to be rehabilitated.

Once this is determined, bypass pumps are set up to empty the pipes by diverting water to another area of the sewer system.

A felt tube is then inserted into the pipe through a manhole and is impregnated with a thermal-setting resin.

The resin is then cured with steam, leaving behind a hard, durable liner.

This process prevents crews from having to dig trenches to replace pipes, reducing construction time and traffic impacts.

Some repairs will require the pipe or manhole to be replaced or resized, requiring an open trench for the project work. The existing sewer flows will be bypassed during the work to maintain service, and the pipeline will be replaced. While this method usually has more of an impact on traffic in the surrounding area, we strive to minimize those impacts, while safely completing the work.
