City Sewers Future Construction
Venice Boulevard and I-10 Freeway Sewer Rehabilitation Project
This sewer pipe rehabilitation project is scheduled to begin in February 2008 in West Los Angeles. The approximate project boundary is Santa Monica Freeway on the north, Bagley Ave. on the east, Overland Ave. on the west, and Venice Blvd. on the south.
QUICK FACTS
- About 1.8 miles of eight and ten-inch diameter sewer pipes will be rehabilitated, or removed and replaced. Most work will be in the center of the street.
- Two existing maintenance holes will be upgraded.
- Construction period: February 2008 through May 2009. Weather or other circumstances could shift the work schedule. Neighbors will be informed as conditions warrant.
- Construction will generally take place Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. until 5:30 p.m., and on major streets from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m to minimize traffic impacts.
- Estimated Cost: $1,410,000.
- Construction methods will include sewer pipe lining (rehabilitates defective sewers without excavation and surface disruption), and sewer pipe removal and replacement (performed by “open cut” or trenching, a method that is typically used where sewers are shallow).
- In order to minimize disruption on your street, most of the construction work at each location will be completed in about 10 business days.
- Trucks and other equipment such as pipes will be used during construction, and you may see open trench excavation and debris removal.
- Dust control will be provided in all project areas.
- Enclosures or other barriers will be used in construction areas wherever necessary for public safety.
- Flaggers will be used where traffic is impacted. Traffic will be restored to normal when construction has been completed at the end of each workday.
- Trash pickup, deliveries, access to businesses and residential driveways will be maintained.
- Parking may be temporarily restricted in some areas, and signs will be posted in advance telling you where and when.
- You will be notified 24-48 hours in advance whenever sewer services may be temporarily interrupted.
