San Rafael Readies For Road Closure

SAN RAFAEL, CA — A part of Prospect Drive will be closed next week as crews work on a sewer project, the San Rafael Sanitation District said in a news release.

Prospect between Grand and Vineyard avenues will be closed from Monday through Friday. Barring unanticipated weather conditions, crews will be working in the area from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on those days, according to the announcement.

The Woodland Avenue Sewer Improvement Project will involve trenching and working in the public right-of-way to replace a damaged section of the main sewer, replacing the existing sewer main with a new main for the entire block, and replacing existing sewer service laterals and cleanouts.

Sewer service in the area won’t be interrupted but the district is asking residents to reduce water use while the project is underway.

Residents are advised to expect some inconveniences during the project, district officials said.

“Although noise levels may be increased at times, and some inconvenience may be unavoidable, we are committed to do whatever we can to minimize impact from construction activities,” the district said.

Anyone with questions or concerns about the project is asked to contact Westland Contractors Field Supervisor Neil Hunt at (650) 787-6794 or the SRSD Project Manager David Nicholson at (415) 458-5369.
