Project Summary
The project starts at the intersection of Abbey Lane and Burry Street, continues west across Mormon Trek Boulevard to Rushmore Drive, then southwest of Rushmore Drive through an existing sanitary sewer easement and across Highway 218. The project generally includes sanitary sewer pipes, sanitary sewer manholes, sanitary sewer service reconnection, water main valve replacement, storm sewer pipe replacement, street pavement, driveway replacement, sidewalk replacement, and seeding.
Approximately 2,500 linear feet of new 30-inch diameter sanitary sewer pipe will be extended to the west side of Highway 218 to serve future development. The construction of sewer piping across Mormon Trek Boulevard and Highway 218 will be installed via trenchless construction techniques to avoid traffic impacts. On Abbey Lane, the sanitary sewer pipe will be installed near the middle of the roadway. The new roadway will be reduced in width to 28 feet to be consistent with city policies for local/residential streets, to reduce construction materials used (supports the goals within the Climate Action and Adaption Plan), and to reduce maintenance costs on the new street.
