Sunnyside North Green Street and Sewer Project
Updated September 9, 2020
The City of Portland’s Bureau of Environmental Services is continuing our work to repair and replace critical sewer and stormwater infrastructure. Environmental Services will continue to provide information and updates on construction schedules and activities during the COVID-19 emergency.
Environmental Services – your sewer and stormwater utility – is continuing construction on the Sunnyside North Green Street and Sewer Project. Almost all the new sewers have been installed or repaired on the project and the contractor is now working on the remainder of the project that will reduce the flooding in the neighborhood. The green street planters, stormdrains, and ADA ramps are all that remain before final restoration of the streets.
CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE
Below are the anticipated construction activities over the next few weeks. Please note that the schedule can change for a variety of reasons, including weather, equipment and supply availability, and coordinating with crews and subcontractors.
Week of September 14:
Crews will be repairing the main sewer line at the intersection of SE 25th Avenue and SE Belmont Street.
On-going:
-
Crews have finished building the green streets and will add soil to the green streets.
-
Crews will also be finalizing the storm drains and ADA ramps all over the neighborhood.
PAVING SCHEDULE
As the project nears completion, the crews will return to address small patches of temporary pavements in various areas.
No Parking signs will be placed in areas to be paved a few days ahead of time. Please observe signs and remove your car from the designated NO PARKING area by 7 a.m. on designated dates.
Construction Methods
Both trenchless Cured-in-Place Pipe lining (CIPP) and open trench excavation methods were selected for this project. To learn more about these methods, visit www.portlandoregon.gov/bes/methods.
What to Expect During Construction
- Noise, Vibration and Dust are significant and will disrupt normal neighborhood activity.
- Traffic Delays will occur in and near the work area. Please observe traffic control signs and follow the directions of flaggers.
- Driveway Access to your property will be maintained, but construction may impact normal use of your driveway or entrance to your
- business.
- On-street parking will be restricted in and near the work zones to create a safe work environment and to stage equipment and materials.
- Sewer, water, and other utilities will remain in service during construction.
- Equipment Storage: Some equipment and materials may be stored on your street or nearby streets overnight.
- Schedule Changes and Inactivity: construction schedule is subject to change due to a variety of factors, including conditions underground,
- subcontractor schedules, and availability of materials. These same variables may cause periods of inactivity between construction phases.
