Saturday Work on Crystal Springs Road Near Polhemus

This Saturday, a small crew will continue to install 42 inch high wildlife protection fencing on the grassy and wooded areas along Crystal Springs Road near Polhemus.

The work is part of the preconstruction activities before a new water pipeline is installed under portions of Crystal Springs Road in early June. Minor work will take place in the area throughout May, including the emptying of water from an existing pipeline that was originally built in the early 1900’s.

No lane closures are expected this week, but sections of the shoulder and bike lane will be closed periodically. Please use caution if you are driving or biking and observe the speed limit. The work will proceed along Crystal Springs Road between Polhemus and Skyline Blvd., 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

If you have any questions about the construction or the Water System Improvement Program, please call 24-hours a day: (866) 973-1476.
