SW 1st Avenue will re-open to traffic between SW Jefferson and SW Columbia streets at 3:00 p.m. today. Environmental Services closed the street Wednesday night to set up a line to pump sewage around a collapsed sewer near SW 1st and Jefferson.

The by-pass line is installed and the street will re-open while Environmental Services designs a project to repair the collapsed pipe. The repair project likely won’t begin for several weeks.
