The $15.4M Milneburg Group A project, which began construction in December 2020, is making progress and utilizing targeted weekend work to remain on schedule with this roadway restoration project. Waterline tie-ins are planned to continue throughout October – residents are being notified regarding test closures and other service interruptions related to this waterline and drainage infrastructure work that will progress following waterline testing. Crews will complete waterline testing along Franklin and Elysian avenues and other major neighborhood corridors ahead of planned tie-ins. The project is expected to complete in winter 2021.
