Xerxes Ave S sewer replacement
We will repair sections of the sanitary and storm sewer near Xerxes Ave S and West 54th Street.
Project overview
We will repair damaged sections of sanitary and storm sewer located in the vicinity of Xerxes Ave South and West 54th Street. The project will replace 94 feet of sanitary pipe, 86 feet of storm pipe, and maintenance holes. The 9-inch gravity sewer main has structural defects, leading to it taking on soil.
The new sanitary sewer will:
- Prevent the need for more extensive repairs in the future.
- Be installed in the same location and alignment as the existing sewer.
- Enhance sanitary flow and minimize groundwater infiltration and inflow.
Estimated project completion date is mid-May 2025.
Traffic impacts
Roadwork and utility work involves use of heavy equipment that will increase noise, vibration, and dust in work areas. You might see:
- Traffic lanes that narrow or are restricted during construction.
- Parking lanes that will be closed during construction.
- Pedestrian detours around work areas. These will be set up as needed to enable construction. Expect greater impacts at intersections where work is occurring.
