Preconstruction Alert- Water Main Replacement

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Water Main Replacement Project on Prairie Ave. between Manchester Blvd. and Hardy St; and Pincay Dr. between Prairie Ave. and Stadium Dr. is a state and locally funded initiative to relocate existing water mains that intersect with the Inglewood Transit Connector (ITC).

The project will modernize the infrastructure, as most lines have been in service for 60-80 years. The upgrade supports the long-term sustainability of the water main for future use.

This project will include replacing approximately 4,300 linear feet of pipe and water service connections, installing, and relocating fire hydrants, transferring water service to the new lines, and abandoning existing water lines.

DATE AND WORK HOURS

Construction will begin Monday, April 1, 2024, and continue for approximately 6 months. Work is anticipated to be performed each week, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. each day. Crews may begin prep and clean up an hour before and after.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Roadway Restrictions

Minor rolling lane restrictions will be in place the week of April 1, 2024, along Pincay Dr. between Prairie Ave. and Stadium Dr. and Prairie Ave. between Manchester Blvd. and Hardy St. These restricCons will facilitate potholing work to verify existing conditions below the roadway surface.

Once the potholing work is completed, construction activities will begin to install the new main water infrastructure. This work will require restrictions starting at Prairie Avenue between Manchester Boulevard and Hardy Street. The Prairie Avenue restrictions will be performed in five phases-please refer to the map for phasing details.

construction will then progress to Pincay Drive between Prairie Ave. and Stadium Dr. Stay tuned for additional informaCon regarding the restrictions in this area.
