City of Greenville Shuts Down Cleveland Street for Essential Sewer Work!
Hey there, Greenville folks! We have some important news for you about Cleveland Street. Starting from March 17 and running through March 31, Cleveland Street will be closed between Pearl Avenue and University Ridge. So, if you usually take that route, you might want to look for some alternatives, at least for a couple of weeks!
What’s the Scoop?
You might be wondering why the sudden closure, right? Well, it’s all part of a big, exciting project called the South Downtown Sewer Improvement project. The city is installing a brand-new sewer system in the area, and that requires a bit of digging and construction. Yes, we know construction can be a nuisance, but it’s all for a good cause!
The goal here is to enhance sewer capacity and get ready for future wastewater flow. This upgrade will help prevent those pesky sanitary overflows that no one wants to deal with. Nobody likes surprises when they’re enjoying a walk or biking down the street!
What You Need to Know
During this time, drivers should make sure to use the recommended detour route, which will take you on to Church Street to bypass the construction zone. We know detours can sometimes feel inconvenient, but your cooperation will help keep traffic moving smoothly while this necessary work gets done.
How Much Is This Going to Cost?
Now, we can’t ignore the numbers! The budget for the South Downtown Sewer Improvement project is set at a whopping $6.39 million. Yes, that sounds like a lot, but think of it as an investment in keeping our city healthy and thriving. It’s essential for ensuring that our sewer system can handle future demands and keep Greenville looking its best!
What Improvements Are We Looking At?
This isn’t just a quick fix; it’s a comprehensive upgrade. The improvements will include replacing old, tired 8-inch and 12-inch gravity sewers between McDaniel Avenue and Church Street. The upgrades will ensure that our infrastructure is able to handle everything we throw at it, whether it’s more rainwater or an increase in residents in our lovely city.
