Venetian Causeway Water and Sewer Main Replacement

Project Advisory: Wednesday, October 11, 2023

The Venetian Causeway Water and Sewer Main Replacement project is underway. The contractor is working to replace the old water and sewer main with new pipes that will be installed underground.


Project Update

This project has returned to Phase II; the final phase of construction. The contractor has been approved to perform grouting work overnight. This work is expected to begin today and end on Friday, October 13.


To keep traffic flowing, we ask that all vehicles, including commercial vehicles, refrain from parking on the road. Please be advised that the city has committed to increased enforcement during this traffic change.


Timeline

A full project closeout will take place by the end of the fall 2023. The project team anticipates that all traffic impacts will be removed by the end of October 2023. Regular work hours will continue Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with weekend work approved on a case-by-case basis.


Please know that this schedule may change due to weather or unforeseen circumstances.
