The project replaces and constructs nearly three miles of two regional pressurized sewer pipelines (force mains) on Westminster Boulevard between Seal Beach Boulevard and Rancho Road/Hammon Place in the cities of Seal Beach and Westminster.  Construction began Spring 2020 and all underground sewer construction work was completed late 2022. Landscape and street restoration will be complete by early 2023.    

Construction of the two new sewer pipelines is complete.  Restoration activities will continue to take place throughout the project area.

UPCOMING WORK

  • What:  Bicycle lane paving restoration – During sewer construction, the construction zone primarily took place in the center median area. With the installation of a temporary bike lane, two driving lanes and bicycle lane in each direction were maintained.
  • When: Tentatively scheduled to occur in May, taking approximately 2 weeks.  Starting week of May 22.
  • What to Expect:
    • The temporary bicycle lane will be removed starting April 20 in preparation of the original bike lane paving restoration.
