Milam Creek Gravity Sewer and Lift Station
The Milam Creek Project is one of the final stages of the I-35 corridor utility relocation efforts. The project will relocate and add wastewater lines between Highway 77 and Ganzer Road. In addition, a new lift station will be constructed at the intersection of Ganzer Road and East I-35 Frontage Road. This effort will not only support TxDOT's I-35 widening it was also designed/upgraded to support future development in the area.

Gravity Sewer has majority of the bores started/completed and line installation has begun. A few conflicts have come up causing some delays with construction and unexpected traffic pattern changes to come. Traffic will be affected at the TA and Love's Truck Stops at US-77/Barthold Rd and I-35 Frontage Road.
Lift Station site has been opened up to form the structures. Additional crew has been on site to speed this up due to a department change that delayed the start of the lift station. Also, the crew to bore under I-35 is returning to complete the 48" bore for the gravity line to lift station.
