Phase I of the new sewer line is on schedule to be complete by December 2020. Remaining work is predominately on City property at the Water Reclamation Facility. Revegetation of private property along Gentry Loop will take place this fall.
Construction is currently ongoing in Phase II – Segment 1 (Pioneer Loop and Margaret Lane). Pioneer Loop is open to residents; however, final roadwork restoration will take place later this fall and may require intermittent closures. As crews continue working west on Margaret Lane and approach Deschutes Market Road, please be prepared for 2-3-minute delays on Deschutes Market Road due to trench blasting through the week of October 5th. Blasting activities are scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursdays in the afternoon. Flaggers will be in place to safely direct traffic during this period.
Construction is also ongoing in Phase II – Segment 2 (City-owned Juniper Ridge Property). Crews continue to clear the work zone and blast for future pipe installation. This area remains closed to all unauthorized personnel until completion of construction.
Construction of Phase II – Segment 3 (BNSF railroad, adjacent to and across HWY 97 to Clausen Road), will begin in late October. This phase of the project includes construction along Highway 97. Lane restrictions may be in effect during this time for the safety of both the traveling public and the construction workers. Night work will be required along HWY 97 from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. Access to private properties and businesses will be maintained at all times.
