Project Schedule
Phase 1 will occur in 2022. Typical working hours will be Monday through Friday from approximately 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Night and weekend work will be occasional and announced in advance.
Traffic Impacts
1st Street will be closed from January through the summer of 2022. There will be sidewalk and road closures for a portion of W. 1st Street from N. Taft Avenue to Cleveland Avenue. To avoid the closure, detours will be in place through the duration of Phase 1. Travelers should be prepared for delays.
Listed below are the traffic impacts and road work to expect this week of March 28-April 1 for the Garfield Harrison Storm Drain Improvements project:
- Crews are working to finish the outfall structure in order to start restoration next to the river.
- Access from the west has been closed except for access to the glass shop.
- Storm sewer will start being installed in 1st Street followed by the water line.
All work activities are subject to weather conditions. Stay safe and be sure to go slow in the cone zone.
Overall Project Improvements
- Replace and upgrade existing stormwater infrastructure to address existing drainage problems and meet current stormwater criteria. Install 18- to 60-inch diameter storm sewer.
- Replace existing waterlines and valves to address aging infrastructure with a history of leaks.
- Replace pavement including asphalt patching, milling, overlays, or full street reconstruction where project components are installed.
- Rehabilitate and replace concrete as well as ADA improvements.
- Provide stormwater quality treatment measures within the stormwater system.
What are expected project impacts?
