The City of Coos Bay contracted with Laskey Clifton Corp. to install a new sanitary sewer force main. This line will be directionally drilled from Birch Avenue under the Bay. For safety reasons, this work will require a full road closure beginning August 1, 2019, and it is anticipated to be closed for two months. Traffic will be detoured around the work zone. The contractor will be working Monday thru Friday 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and on Saturdays from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. starting August 10th through the end of September.
There will be no on street parking in this portion of Birch Avenue while this replacement is underway. Drivers and pedestrians are advised to please exercise caution within the construction zone and detour area. The contractor will work with the affected business owners as needed. Any questions can be directed to Public Works, Engineering Division at 541-269-8918.
