Between Bolsa Chica and Rancho Road (City of Westminster)

This project replaces two existing side-by-side regional sewer pipelines.  One pipeline will be replaced at a time while the other pipeline is in service 24/7 to collect and transport wastewater for treatment and recycling. The contractor is currently working on completing construction of the first sewer pipe.  Once completed and in service, construction will start on the second pipe, moving in the direction from Bolsa Chica headed towards Rancho Road. Preliminary work of the second pipe has started such as potholing to verify locations of existing utilities.

  • Monday – Friday. 7:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.
  • Westminster Blvd. will be reduced to one lane in each direction.
  • Some activities may occur outside work hours within the k-rail sections between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.

Milan Street Intersection

Paving activities are currently taking place today (6/22/2021) at the intersection.  Work is anticipated to continue through 7 p.m.

Near or at the Intersection of Westminster Blvd. and Bolsa Chica Rd.

There will be construction activity that will require the temporary closure of the Westminster Blvd. driveway at 7 Eleven.  The driveway on Bolsa Chica Rd. will remain open.

  • Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.
  • When working in the intersection, traffic signal at the intersection will be on flashing red.  Treat as a 4-way STOP.
  • Be alert.  There will be traffic lane closures and turn restrictions. Flaggers will be onsite to assist with directing traffic.
  • To avoid potential traffic delays, if possible, use alternate routes to avoid the area.

Between Seal Beach Blvd and Bolsa Chica (City of Seal Beach) 

Lane striping of the eastbound side will continue tonight Tuesday, June 22, and Monday, June 28.  Night time work hours are 9 p.m. – 6 a.m.

Street restoration and final paving activities of over 1 mile (7,000 feet) along Westminster Blvd. between Kitts Highway (east of Seal Beach Blvd.) and Bolsa Chica Rd is taking place.  Paving has already taken place. The paving limits were primarily within the excavation area of where the construction of two new regional sewer pipelines occurred.  Lane striping will allow for vehicular travel lanes to be moved back to the original configuration before the construction project.

Following the move of travel lanes back to the original configuration, any repairs to the original bicycle lane will occur and the temporary bicycle lane that was put in as part of this project will be removed.

Seal Beach Pump Station (Intersection of Westminster Blvd and Seal Beach Blvd)

Construction is currently taking place by the Seal Beach Pump Station site.
