A stormwater project involving piping and ditch work on North/South Bailey Drive begins today, Sept. 4, the Town of Porter is reporting.
Crews are working from north to south, commencing on North Bailey Drive and continuing to the intersection of South Bailey Drive and Fleming Street; then moving south on Fleming Street to Ballard Avenue, then west on Ballard Avenue to Waverly Road.
In the last phase of the project, the stormwater sewer will cross Waverly Road east to west, at which time Waverly Road will be closed.
Temporary road closures are also be implemented as the project moves south, starting with North Bailey Drive.
Local residents have access to their homes but through-traffic are being detoured to other streets.
The project is currently expected to take approximately eight weeks.
“This long-awaited project will resolve multiple stormwater and flooding issues,” the Town of Porter said.
