Starting the week of May 5, weather permitting,
the Department of Public Utilities’ contractor will be making drainage repairs
to the existing storm drainage infrastructure at the intersection of N. Meadow
and W. Broad streets. N. Meadow will be closed from the south side of Broad to
the alley to through traffic. Southbound lane traffic on the north side of
Broad will be limited to right and left turns only. The parking lane and
outside eastbound lane of Broad will be closed for two to three days during
construction. The project is estimated to take approximately 15 days to
complete.
Construction will consist of installation of a
manhole on N. Meadow, two drop inlets replaced, several storm drain lines
installed, and pavement restored. Cavitations on Broad at the intersection will
be excavated, secured and filled before the street is paved. Completion of all
work is expected by May 29.
