Update: Hawthorne Avenue Emergency Force Main Replacement

Friday, May 22, 2026

What's Happening

Work crews have completed the first segment of the emergency force main replacement along Hawthorne Avenue. The first segment of the pipe was assembled and pulled into place on Thursday, May 21. An excavation pit and equipment will be present along Hawthorne Avenue from 79 Street to Crespi Blvd to support work on second segment operations.


Work on the second segment will begin on Tuesday, May 26, 2026. The second segment involves directional drilling underneath Hawthorne Avenue from Crespi Blvd to the pump station at 81 Street. Equipment and pipe staging is occurring along Hawthorne Avenue between 80–85 streets. Intersections and driveways in the area will be temporarily blocked May 28 until June 5, 2026 for pipe assembly and pull back; those properties will be notified before access is blocked. Waste collection services will be coordinated with work crews to maintain service. Please follow traffic detours.
