North South Water Main

The Contractor has completed the pipe installation and are in the testing phase of the new transmission main. Once testing has passed and the new water line is in service, the contractor will begin final paving of the roadway.

Paving is anticipated to begin by the end of March and be complete by the end of April 2022 (weather permitting).

All 4 lanes of Bonnie Brae will be milled and overlaid with asphalt providing a much needed surface condition improvement until the major widening and reconstruction project takes place.

On Monday December 20, 2021 Mountain Cascade will begin making the crossing of the 42-inch Transmission Main from the west side of Bonnie Brae Street to the east side, requiring a full closure at the open-cut location near 316 N. Bonnie Brae Street.

This work is anticipated to be complete by close of business on Wednesday December 22nd.

Therefore, Bonnie Brae Street will be closed from the Scripture Roundabout to Oak Street to THRU Traffic from Monday December 20 through Wednesday December 22, 2021.

Local traffic access to medical facilities, businesses and residences will be allowed.

Local traffic will need to access their destination either from the north or south end of 316 N. Bonnie Brae.

Detour signs will be posted accordingly.

Please notify employees, customers, family members and/or guests of the closure during this time.

Thank you for your patience while we complete improvements in the area.

The recent North South Water Main Phase 3 resident letter was updated to reflect a date correction to the temporary Bonnie Brae Street from I-35 to Panhandle Street southbound lane closure date.
