Beginning Thursday, August 7, CWLP’s Water Department will move to the next phase of a project to relocate 2,000 feet of a 24-inch water main for the Springfield Rail Improvements Project on North Grand Avenue. This phase of work, expected to last four weeks, requires a street opening and road closure on Reservoir Street from the 9th Street intersection to 11th Street.
This project represents part of the City of Springfield’s match towards the Springfield Rail Improvements Project, and is the largest piece of the multi-year project thus far. The work to relocate the water main for this underpass is estimated to cost $4.8 million and is part of a total $10.2 million investment by the CWLP Water Fund for relocations and upgrades of water infrastructure. The final phases of work for the North Grand Avenue underpass, including anticipated closures on 11th Street from East Reservoir Street to East Converse Street, are expected to be completed by this fall.
Traffic lanes will remain closed for this phase of work until surface pavement repairs are completed around the week of September 8. Motorists should plan to take alternative routes to avoid delays and should slow down and drive with caution around this work zone.
