Highland Drive/1100 East Construction Update 3.15.23

Mar 16, 2023

Water line replacement is underway on the east side of Highland Drive between Driggs Avenue and Warnock Avenue. Crews will continue moving north on the east side of Highland Drive. Warnock Avenue is closed at Highland Drive while this work proceeds. Residents should use Stratford Avenue or Whitlock Avenue as alternates.

At right is a look inside the trench where crews are working to keep existing utilities in service while installing the new water line. You can see multiple utility lines in the wall of the trench along the top of the image.

Asphalt Removal:
Asphalt has been removed inside the work zone on the east side of Highland Drive and intermittent driveway interruptions may occur while crews work in that area. Contact the Communications Team if you have any questions or concerns.

Water Service Interruptions:
As early as Monday, March 20, water service to homes on Warnock Avenue will be interrupted during the day while crews connect their service lines to the new line.

Homes where service will be interrupted will be notified individually.
