BMU Water Main Project - Phase 6

---

Project Update | April 9, 2026

Work is ramping up as the BMU Water Main Project – Phase 6 construction gets started. Initial site preparation and coordination are underway for the installation of a new 16‑inch treated water main along the U.S. Highway 14 Bypass. 

In Progress:

• Erosion control measures have been installed throughout the project area.
• Traffic control signage is in place to support construction activities and maintain safe travel conditions.
• Topsoil stripping within project limits is beginning this week.

Starting:

• Contractor mobilization for the bore and jack operation near Sunnybrook Drive.

Later This Spring:
The 22nd Avenue closure is currently anticipated for mid-May, with traffic detoured to Medary Avenue during this time. Work will include removal of asphalt in the southbound lane to Research Parkway, installation of a new waterline connecting to the existing system, and full roadway reconstruction. The northbound lanes will then be milled and overlaid, followed by pavement marking installation prior to reopening.
