| 61 | 2024-11-14T22:31:58+00:00 | Portland Bureau of Environmental Services <PortlandBES@info.portland.gov> | SW Market-Madison Sewer Project Update: November 14, 2024 | General Schedule Construction began in June of 2024 and will take up to a year and a half to complete. What's Happening Now Over the next few weeks, crews are scheduled to install cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) lining to repair mainline public sewer pipes. They will also conduct service lateral repairs and maintenance hole repairs. Visit the project webpage for details about these activities. Construction may be noisy, require temporary removal of on-street parking, create traffic delays, and temporarily restrict sidewalk crossings in the work zones. Local access to businesses and parking garages will be maintained. Look-Ahead Schedule The schedule below may change due to several factors, including weather, subcontractor schedules, materials supply, underground conditions, impacts of other nearby construction projects, and other unforeseen circumstances. REST OF THIS WEEK Crews will conduct CIPP lining and service lateral repairs during daytime hours between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. at the following locations: - SW Madison Street between SW 6th Avenue and SW Broadway: Traffic will be routed to one lane on SW Madison Street, and bikes on SW Broadway will merge with traffic. The pedestrian crosswalk at SW Madison Street and SW Broadway will be closed. Other crosswalks will remain open. Please use caution when traveling through the area. - SW Madison Street at SW Park Avenue: SW Madison Street will be completely closed between SW Park Avenues East and West. SW Park Avenue will also be closed at SW Main Street. WEEK OF NOVEMBER 18 Crews will conduct CIPP lining and service lateral repairs during daytime hours between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m.at the following locations: - SW Madison Street between SW 6th Avenue and SW Broadway: Traffic will be routed to one lane on SW Madison Street, and bikes on SW Broadway will merge with traffic. The pedestrian crosswalk at SW Madison Street and SW Broadway will be closed. Other crosswalks will remain open. Please use caution when traveling through the area. - SW Madison Street at SW Park Avenue: SW Madison Street will be completely closed between SW Park Avenues East and West. SW Park Avenue will also be closed at SW Main Street. HOLIDAY MORATORIUM: November 21, 2024, through January 3, 2025 The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) does not allow construction requiring the closing of streets, sidewalks, or parking lane portions of the public right-of-way on some streets during the holiday season, which this year is from November 21, 2024, through January 3, 2025. These restrictions support Portland’s businesses by reducing traffic congestion, providing parking access, and assuring a welcoming environment for patrons who are shopping or attending events. For more information and a map of moratorium locations, visit the City of Portland moratorium webpage. CIPP Lining—Unpleasant odors and how to prevent them This project will use several construction methods to repair or replace public sewer pipes. The primary method for repairing public sewer pipes will be Cured-in-Place-Pipe Lining. During the CIPP lining process, residents may smell an odor like plastic or glue. This will dissipate quickly once the process is complete. The odor is from chemicals in the liner resin. The amounts detected by an independent industrial hygienist are below health risk levels. To keep resin odors from entering a home or business through the private sewer line, fill any floor drains and infrequently used sinks with a small amount of water. This water will collect in the bend in the drain, called a "P-trap," and block odors from the sewer. If a resin odor is already in a home or business, cover basement floor drains and open windows to allow ventilation. If the odor continues, phone or email the contacts provided on the contractor's construction notice, or call Environmental Services at 503-865-4300 and leave a message with the address, project name, and name and phone number for follow-up. Work Hours In order to reduce public impacts and complete the work as quickly as possible, the City’s Noise Office granted Environmental Services a noise variance to allow a combination of daytime and nighttime work hours: - Daytime work will occur between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and Saturdays as needed. Hours may vary to limit traffic impacts. - Nighttime work will occur between 6 p.m. and 7 a.m. Monday through Friday, and Saturdays as needed. Hours may vary to limit traffic impacts and noise. The noisier work to dig small trenches and access pits will be done during the day. CIPP lining may be done at night in some locations where levels of sewage and stormwater flows in the pipes are lower and less likely to negatively impact the lining.
