Project Overview
In fall 2019, we
replaced 960 feet of an aging water main (pipe),
installed two new hydrants,
replaced one existing hydrant,
renewed sixteen water service connections from the new pipe to nearby property lines,
paved the street, and
provided temporary patches in curbs and sidewalk ramps that need further repair.
Why
The main we replaced was installed in 1961 and had six breaks. The new pipe will reduce the frequency of breaks and be more earthquake resistant
Where
NE 143rd Avenue, south of NE Sacramento Street
What's happening now
It took a year, but our designs have been reviewed and approved, and we’re ready to finish the work we started in 2019. We will install ADA-accessible sidewalk ramps on the southwest and southeast corners of the intersection at 143rd and Sacramento. We hope to finish this part of the project by February 2022.
What to Expect
- This project will last about a month. However, it may take longer depending on the weather. We can’t pave when temperatures are below 40 degrees
,or when it’s raining. - Street parking may be limited. We may use “No Parking” barricades.
- Your street may be closed to all but local traffic during construction hours. Crews will try to keep driveways accessible, but you may have to park on a side street during construction hours.
- Mail, garbage, and delivery services will have access.
- You may experience noise, dust, and traffic delays.
