Water Main Replacement, Phase I

This project will replace water mains on the west side of the City. The Water Main Replacement Phase I project will install approximately 4,800 linear feet for 8-inch diameter pipe and 2,355 linear feet of 12-inch diameter pipe. The pipes will be installed in Tweedy Boulevard, between State Street and Elizabeth Avenue; Michigan Avenue, between State Street and Elizabeth Avenue; Elizabeth Avenue, between Tweedy Boulevard and Michigan Avenue; Wisconsin Avenue, between State Street and Elizabeth Avenue; Minnesota Ave, between State Street and Elizabeth Avenue; State Street, between Michigan Avenue and Tweedy Boulevard. Improvements also includes installation valves, fittings, service laterals, fire hydrants, connections to mains, traffic control, abandonment of existing mains, and all other appurtenances.

All Cities Engineering was awarded the construction contract for this project.  Construction is expected to start in April 2024 and to be completed in August 2024. All Cities Engineering will be issuing a notice of construction with more information and contact information prior to start of construction activities.

Construction activities include heavy equipment, traffic control, lane closures, and will temporarily impact parking and traffic signal operation.  Some construction activities will impact noise levels, such as during potholing and installation of new pipelines.  Construction activities will be scheduled to minimize impacts, where feasible. Construction notices will be provided prior to the start of the project to provided information needed to accommodate parking conditions and traffic circulation on the Boulevard.
