The City has contracted with Southern Ohio Trenching & Excavating to complete sewer and water line improvements on Dairy Lane between Richland Avenue and the Corporation Limits (near the Ohio University Compost Facility).
The Contractor will begin sewer line work on Dairy Lane on Wednesday, July 5, 2023, with work beginning near the Richland Avenue intersection. The section of Dairy Lane between Richland Avenue and the Summit at Coates Run driveway will be restricted to local traffic only, and a signed detour will be in place for through traffic.
To support their work, the Contractor will be utilizing some parking spaces at The Ridges Trail System trailhead near the Compost Facility.
The sewer portion of the project is expected to be completed in fall, 2023. The water line work and final pavement restoration within the project area is expected to be completed in 2024.
