***UPDATE: Temporary Lane Reduction: The 2400 through 2900 blocks of South Claiborne Avenue
Beginning Tuesday, October 14th , weather permitting, the Office of Resilience & Sustainability’s contractor, RNGD Infrastructure, LLC, will implement a temporary road reduction in 2400 block of South Claiborne Avenue to begin roadway restoration for the DPS01 Watershed (Broadmoor HMGP) Drainage Upgrades and Green Infrastructure Project (Phase I).
The temporary closure will remain in effect until 5 p.m. on Friday, October 24th. Traffic on S. Claiborne Avenue will be shifted into the right lane until Toledano Street, where all three lanes will be open for travel. During this project, the contractor will be working from 7 a.m. until sunset, Monday through Friday.
The DPS 01 Watershed Drainage Upgrades and Green Infrastructure project is a two-phased implementation approach to reduce flooding, particularly in the Broadmoor and Central City neighborhoods, and implement green infrastructure (GI) features in the stormwater drainage system to reduce runoff and create and enhance public landscape and park amenities. This will be accomplished by upgrading the City’s stormwater drainage infrastructure to include stormwater detention features, infiltration, and landscape features along with street upgrades.
