Project Overview
The project will replace the Rio de Flag box culvert (which runs beneath Phoenix Avenue and the Zani building) with the appropriate conveyance structure and will update a 12” water main in Phoenix Avenue from Mikes Pike to Beaver Street. Phoenix Avenue will be re-profiled, roadway surface drainage issues will be addressed, edge improvements will be made as needed and the roadway will be repaved. The existing waterline in this area is over 114 years old. This project is part of the City’s ongoing aging water infrastructure replacement program.
