Commercial Avenue Sanitary Sewer Reconstruction
January 27, 2025 Update
Weather permitting, work on this project is expected to get fully underway this week (week of January 27th, 2025). The contractor will begin by installing groundwater dewatering wells and excavating bore pits to facilitate the trenchless bore and jack sanitary sewer installation under Highway 30. The bore and jack operation is expected to take approximately 4-6 weeks to complete. During this time, there will be road closures for thru-traffic (local traffic only) on segments of Commercial Ave., Fairmont Ave., and Mayfair Ave. during working hours (7am – 7pm). In addition, the intersection of Commercial Ave. and Fairmont Ave. will be fully closed to all traffic during working hours. These areas are expected to re-open during non-working hours but residents are advised to avoid the area and take alternate routes through the neighborhood over these next few weeks. After the bore and jack operation is completed, the contractor will begin installing the remaining sanitary sewer on this project.
