Body

Beginning Monday, September 14, through Friday, September 25 from 8 PM – 6 AM, crews will perform night work, including sewer main improvements, concrete replacements and paving as part of the Via Lucero Wastewater Force Main Replacement Project.

Work will take place along North Hope Avenue between State Street and Via Lucero as well as the intersection of State Street and North Hope Avenue.  This work is being performed at night with the goal of reducing traffic impacts and improving safety in this highly traveled area. 

To help reduce traffic impacts and improve safety in this highly traveled area, crews will perform the work during night hours. Residents and commuters may experience intermittent delays near the work zone.

About the Project
Project benefits include:

  • Reduced risk of leaks and system failures
  • Increased reliability for today’s wastewater demands
  • Improved system monitoring and maintenance access
  • Eliminate service interruptions for repairs and maintenance

The Via Lucero Wastewater Force Main Replacement Project will improve the reliability and long-term performance of the City's wastewater system by replacing aging infrastructure that has reached the end of its useful life. This $4.8 million project is funded by monthly sewer service fees paid by City wastewater customers.

The City appreciates the community's patience during construction activities.
