What was expected to wreak havoc across the borough turned out to be a quick weekend fix.
The old sewer line serving the area around the DND Market & Deli coursed its way under the Race Street bridge. The task was to replace the sewer line in one swift, dedicated effort.
Crews closed Race Street completely in the early morning of July 27 and started to work. The sewer line was rearranged and improved from the composite cement-lined sewer.
The project was quite extensive and not within the scope of work for the borough’s public works crews. The cost to relocate the sewer was included in the initial cost for the project.
According to the on-site supervisor, work crews are still on track for a November completion.
