The city is advising drivers of a traffic flow change at the intersection of 116th Avenue and 102nd Street beginning the evening of July 29th.
During construction, 102nd Street north of 116th Avenue will remain open to traffic, while 102nd Street south of 116th Avenue between 115th and 116th Avenue will be closed. As a result, commuters are asked to follow detours around the closed portion of 102nd Street.
According to officials, the project is “essential” for the installation of underground utilities connecting pipes to the new storm vault and installing a new overflow pipe leading to a ditch in the area.
“Upgrading our stormwater system will help us handle heavy rains better and protect our neighborhoods from flooding,” Capital Construction Supervisor Mark Hoseasson says.
Work on this portion of the project is expected to last around two weeks depending on the weather.
Route eight of public bussing will have “some bus stop relocations” and residents are asked to visit the City Transit page or consider calling 3-1-1 when planning their trip.
