North 8th Street Water Main Replacement Project, June 26

The Coos Bay-North Bend Water Board will be replacing a water main on Pine Avenue and North 8th Street in Coos Bay from Highway 101 to Koosbay Boulevard, a distance of about 2,000 feet.  Construction work will begin the week of June 30 with completion by November 1, 2014.  The Water Board’s contractor, Laskey-Clifton Corporation, will work Monday through Friday between the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m.  The contractor will close Pine Avenue one block at a time during installation of the water main.  Pine Avenue will be re-opened each evening to local traffic.  Motorists are encouraged to use alternate routes when practical.  Local access and access for emergency vehicles will be maintained during construction.  Any questions can be directed to the Coos Bay-North Bend Water Board at 541-267-3128.
