Greenville’s Cleveland Street to See Temporary Closure for Sewer Upgrades
Attention, residents and visitors of Greenville! If you frequently travel on Cleveland Street, mark your calendars because it’s about to undergo a bit of a transformation. Get ready for some detours and adjustments as the city has announced the closure of the street from March 17 to March 31.
What You Need to Know About the Closure
The affected section of Cleveland Street will be closed between Pearl Avenue and University Ridge. Now, we know construction can be a bit of a drag, especially when it interrupts our daily routines. So why all the fuss? This closure is for an important cause: the installation of a new sewer system as part of the South Downtown Sewer Improvement project.
What’s in Store with the New Sewer Installation
So, why is this project crucial for our community? The main goal is to increase sewer capacity for future wastewater flow. By enhancing the existing infrastructure, the city aims to prevent any unwanted sanitary overflow issues that can affect our environment and public health. Talk about making Greenville a better and safer place to live, right?
Project Details and Costs
The budget for this significant upgrade? A whopping $6.39 million. It’s a big investment, but it’s one aimed at lasting improvements. The project will enhance the current 8-inch and 12-inch gravity sewers that run between McDaniel Avenue and Church Street. These updates will mean a more reliable sewer system for everyone in the area.
Prepare for Detours!
With the closure in effect, drivers will need to find alternate routes. To make life a little easier during this construction period, the city advises using Church Street as a detour bypass. While the construction team works their magic on the sewer installation, this detour will help keep traffic flowing smoothly and minimize congestion.
