New Sewer Line to Clog Traffic on Glendale Blvd

A new sewer line that will take overflow from Echo Park Lake will be installed beginning May 7.

The project is expected to continue through the end of June, according to an update from the Echo Park Lake Rehabilitation Project.

This new twist in the Echo Park Rehabilitation Project will prevent left turns off Glendale Boulevard on to Park in both directions. Left turns off Park on to Glendale going south will also be prohibited.

A northbound lane of traffic along the lake between Park Avenue and Santa Ynez will also be knocked out between 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

That's in addition to the lane already out on Glendale.

Drivers are encouraged to plan accordingly.

According to the Project report, dredging and other ongoing activities in the lakebed continue, with the boathouse rehab 95 percent complete.
