The City of Coos Bay is upgrading the largest pump station in the system that is located on the southwest corner of the Birch Avenue and Front Street intersection. This pump station serves all of downtown, the Mingus park area, Englewood, Bunkerhill, and Eastside. For safety reasons, Birch Avenue between Front Street and Highway 101 (northbound) will be closed for the duration of the project. The project is anticipated to take six months to complete. Access to the adjacent businesses will still be allowed and traffic will be detoured around the area. Drivers and pedestrians are advised to please exercise caution within the construction zone and detour area. Any questions can be directed to the City of Coos Bay Public Works Department at 541-269-8918.
