Presentation regarding road closure of Houston Street from S. 1st Street to S. 6th Street in association with the Old Town Waterline Improvements (Project No. 2254401)
End
Background:
The Old Town Waterline Improvements project is to replace an aging 8-inch cast iron water main with a new 12-inch PVC water main that will increase reliability and water quality.
The proposed road closures will allow City of Broken Arrow Utilities R&C crews to safely complete the waterline installation from S. 1st Street to S. 6th Street along Houston Street.
Section 23-28 of the Broken Arrow Code provides for the closure of roads during construction. It provides that City personnel or contractors, while repairing or improving the streets of the city, and city personnel and utility companies, when installing, improving, or repairing lines or other public facilities in the streets, are hereby authorized as necessary, subject to control by the City Manager, to close any street during the repair, maintenance, or construction. Closure is, of course, predicated on the erection of proper control devices and barricades to warn and notify the public that the street has been closed to traffic.
The road closures will take effect at Houston Street just Southeast of the intersection of S. 1st Street up to just West of S. 6th Street with detour routes being implemented to shift traffic accordingly and is incorporated within the associated Road Closure Permits. The road closures will be implemented between 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 a.m. on the night of March 25th and into the afternoon of April 22nd.
Traffic signs and a message board will be placed in the roadway prior to closures alerting the traveling public of the pending detours.
