The contractor has set a new manhole for the 54” south storm line at North McDonough and East Maple and is at work laying new storm pipe and a new manhole for the 48” north storm line.  After these manholes are set, new drainage inlets will be built on both corners at this location. Once completed, the sidewalks will be repaired and North McDonough Street will be repaved and opened for traffic.  Weather permitting, this should be completed in the next 7-10 days.

Traffic control measures will remain in place on North McDonough Street, so expect traffic delays.

Repairs to the old water line at North McDonough and East Maple were completed last week.  The repair is shown in the photograph below.  This line will be replaced as part of the storm drainage improvements.

This week, the contractor will start “potholing” East Maple Street to locate other underground utilities.

East Maple Street will be closed to  traffic until the work progresses past Church Street. Traffic control measures will remain in place on North McDonough Street, so expect traffic delays.

2nd Update: Week 5 of Storm Drainage Improvements

The contractor expects to open the west side of North McDonough Street to two-way traffic on Thursday.  When this happens the intersection of Maple and North McDonough will be closed.  East Maple Street will then be open for local two-way traffic only and no on-street parking will be available.  As the contractor moves up East Maple, we will eventually have to close the street to all vehicle traffic until the contractor gets past Church Street.

We are arranging temporary permit parking for residents and tenants who will lose access to their parking spaces.  This should be ready in a couple of weeks.  Until that time, if necessary, please feel free to park in the on-street spaces on Church Street or in the East Trinity surface parking lot (across from Decatur Fire Station No. 1) on a first come, first serve basis.
