Notice Regarding Edgcumbe Road Between Highland Parkway and Hamline Avenue
On Saturday, August 12, between 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., utility crews will be filling-in (with sand) an abandoned watermain within the median of Edgcumbe Road.
When encountering intersection construction, please look to construction personnel for help with navigation.
What you can expect with the watermain work on August 12:
It will be loud for anyone near the truck that is pumping the sand material through the watermain pipe. People may hear a hissing sound and/or notice a hazy/dusty vapor emitting through air vents. This is not gas. Air, water vapor, and sand dust particles pass through the pipe as it fills. This is temporary and an expected effect of the work. There is no danger to the project area community.
Notice to residents on northbound Edgcumbe Road from Edgcumbe Road (private) to Highland Parkway: Driveway access will be completely restricted while water service reconnections are occurring in front of/near your property.
Members of the project team will be door-knocking and/or distributing flyers to alert impacted properties of pending driveway closures. Please use an alternate parking location from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on identified impact dates.
Southbound Edgcumbe Road will be active with construction trucks and machinery. Please use an alternate route if/when possible.
