New Start Date Chosen For Anderson Boulevard Water Main Project

GENEVA, IL — The Geneva Public Works Department has landed on a new start date for water main improvements on Anderson Boulevard near State Street.

The city announced Tuesday morning that the project would begin at 8 a.m. April 22. Work was originally scheduled to start April 14 but got pushed after utility locates were not completed in the area, officials said.

During construction, drivers using State Street won't be able to turn left or right to head north on Anderson Boulevard. The city published a map detailing the temporary lane closure and prohibited turns. Richards Street and McKinley Avenue will serve as detour routes.

Southbound Anderson Boulevard will remain open for drivers to travel in either direction onto State Street. Work should be completed prior to the evening rush hour, officials said.

Construction is not expected to impact water service in the area, according to the city.
