Residential Grind and Overlay Project- Crews are working on the Excell Ct. section, getting ready to pave.

o   Excell Avenue from G Street to the beginning of the cul-de-sac east of Audubon Drive. Removal work has begun.

East Sprague Lane Closures- One lane will be open each direction on Sprague from Hatch to Scott Streets.  This project will construct a combined sewer overflow facility on City property across from the City’s Sewer Maintenance Facility.

Addison Street from Columbia Avenue to Dalke Avenue- There is limited local access on Addison as work grind and overlay work continues. Crews will also replace a steel water main with ductile iron in Calispel Street from Wellesley Avenue to Queen Avenue.

Kendick Avenue Water Main- Crews will replace an 8-inch water main in Kendick Ave. from approximately 1,200 feet west of Nine Mile Road to Nine Mile road. Traffic control is in place with road closure signs at both ends. Detour signage is in place on State Route 291.

Greene Street Bridge Lane Closures- Greene Street from Marshall Avenue to Carlisle Avenue will be reduced to one lane each direction until late October.

The new pipe will not add weight to the bridge due to the smaller amount of water that will flow through the new pipe.
