Burts Pit Road Sliplining Project
South Street Bridge at Mill River Diversion Channel- The City has contracted with Aqua Line Utility to "slipline" two culverts that convey streams under the road, which involves inserting new pipes into the existing culverts to repair them.
- There are two locations, a twin culvert near #947 Burts Pit Road and a culvert near #1021 Burts Pit Road.
- The project will begin on February 25. The duration of the project is expected to be one month, with each location taking approximately 2 weeks.
- The contractor will require lane closures during construction, and there will be traffic police to allow one-way traffic at all times.
- The City has contracted with Northern Tree Service to perform vegetation removal and maintenance work on portions of the flood control system.
