Sewer Line Repairs Begin on Bridgeport Way

University Place, WALocal News

Starting the week of February 2, motorists along Bridgeport Way, specifically between 75th Street West and 67th Avenue West, should be prepared for delays as Pierce County crews begin crucial repairs on damaged sewer pipes. To mitigate the impact on wastewater management, a sewer bypass will be installed to redirect flow and prevent additional damage until the repairs can be fully executed. The repair work is anticipated to extend over a six-month period, emphasizing the need for community awareness and preparedness. Although most of the construction will take place south of University Place, traffic disruptions may still affect local drivers. Residents are advised to consider alternate routes and to remain patient and courteous while navigating through lane closures or detours.

This project not only addresses urgent infrastructure needs but also highlights the importance of effective communication during public works. For the latest project updates, residents are encouraged to visit the Bridgeport Way Sewer Repair page on the Pierce County official website. Staying informed will be vital for minimizing inconvenience during this extensive repair period.
