This project will rehabilitate the existing Newport Force Main located on Coast Highway between Dover Drive and the OCSD Bitter Point Pump Station, located approximately 1/4 mile west of Superior Avenue.  The Newport Force Main is made of two sewer lines, both of which will be rehabilitated as part of this construction project. 

Construction is starting Monday, July 7 at 8 p.m.  There will be nighttime work on Monday to prep for work that will take place weekdays between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.  This phase of work will be on Coast Highway near Newport Boulevard.  Due to the construction, a STOP sign will be added to the Old Newport Boulevard on-ramp to westbound Coast Highway.

Throughout the project, there will be lane restrictions and detours which can cause traffic delays.  We encourage everyone to drive safely and obey the traffic control directions to ensure the safety of the public and our crews.  Construction notifications will be made available with specific work location, schedule, and impacts as the dates approach.
