The Via Lucero Wastewater Force Main Replacement Project will transition from nighttime to daytime construction on August 4 as city crews work to replace a 1950s-era wastewater force main. Unlike a typical sewer, a force main is a pressurized sewer pipe that moves wastewater over long distances or uphill. “A 5- to 10-minute delay can be anticipated in both directions on N. Hope Avenue while trenching across the intersection during that week.” Work began approximately four weeks ago, and the lower gravity sewer main connection at the intersection of N. Hope Avenue and State Street is currently being completed. Once crews clear the State Street intersection, work will continue north along N. Hope Avenue before turning onto Via Lucero.
