Progress continues on the construction of the new Colbert West Conveyance improvement project, with crews recently working on dewatering the area, excavation, headwall demolition downstream, bedding rock installation, as well as installation of rebar and concrete at the site.

March 2026 

The excavation process is underway at the Colbert West drainage improvement project near Waterfront Park Drive. The scope of this project will see the addition of four (4) 7’ x 12’ concrete box culverts, increasing stormwater conveyance capacity and helping move water out of the area more quickly during heavy rain events along Colbert Drive. Pedestrians and bicyclists are advised to be aware that sidewalks near this area are closed at this time and will reopen when this portion of the project is completed.

Major underground and roadway preparation work is now complete. Sidewalk demolition, curb removal, utility directional drilling, and water main tie-ins have all been finished. Crews also completed Phase 1 of temporary lane and shoulder paving, along with the installation of barrier walls to safely maintain traffic flow.

With these foundational elements in place, the Colbert Lane West project is progressing as planned and moving into the next phase of construction. As always, thank you for your patience as this important infrastructure improvement continues.

January 2026

Work on the Old B Section Stormwater Conveyance Improvements project continued in January with preparation for replacement of the existing drainage infrastructure that carries stormwater toward Graham Swamp. This project will remove four (4) 72-inch reinforced concrete pipes (RCPs) and replace them with four (4) 7’ x 12’ concrete box culverts, increasing stormwater conveyance capacity and helping move water out of the area more quickly during heavy rain events. Additional updates will be posted as construction activities progress and major milestones are reached.
