Sandy Boulevard Sewer and Stormwater Project

Sewer and Stormwater
Active
Environmental Services is designing a project to install and upsize public sewer pipes within the Kerns Neighborhood and a small portion of the Buckman Neighborhood. These improvements will increase sewer capacity, relieve sewer backups, and reduce street flooding.
Design will continue through late 2023. Construction is currently expected to begin in spring 2024 and take up to three years to complete.

Project Area

This project will upsize main sewer pipe between the intersection of NE 29th Avenue and NE Sandy Boulevard and the intersection of NE 12th Avenue and NE Davis Street.  In addition, the design team will be identifying locations for sewer and stormwater management upgrades just north and south of NE Davis and NE Sandy Boulevard between NE 10th Avenue and NE 28th Avenue.  

What's Happening Now

Work crews will be in the project area to perform investigative activities. Activities include site visits and evaluation, survey, soil sampling, utility locates, pipe cleaning and inspection. Some investigative activities will require restricting parking and closing travel lanes. The traveling public should expect minor traffic delays. Information gathered will help determine the repair locations, stormwater management methods, and how to minimize construction impacts on residents and businesses.
