A new storm sewer is being constructed along the street to remove storm inlets from the sanitary sewer system in this area, with work starting on the westerly side of the intersection at Davis Street and progressing west. Local traffic will be accommodated thru the site to their driveways.
Thru traffic will need to utilize an alternative route on either Delmar Avenue to the north, or Mather Street in Alton to the south. Please use caution driving near construction sites and follow all traffic control signage and barricades.
Safety: These closures are necessary for investments in the wastewater system to be completed in a safe manner.
Illinois American Water said its team and contractors work as quickly as possible to minimize inconvenience to our customers.
