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

City of Seal Beach

LOCATION: Westminster Blvd. west of Bolsa Chica Rd. Both westbound and eastbound bike lanes. 

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.  With construction complete, travel lanes have been restriped returning the street to its original configuration. The temporary bicycle lane has been removed and original bicycle lane restoration activities will take place.

Final paving has not been able to be completed due to wet weather conditions.  The work is scheduled to occur, Friday, June 9, weather permitting. Work hours are between 6 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Final striping of the bike lanes is planned for the week of July 5 during the nighttime hours. Exact dates to be confirmed.

• Impacts:
  • Lane reductions – While paving work takes place, the #2 lane and bicycle lane will be closed. Bicyclists will need to use alternate routes.
  • During non-working hours, lanes will open up. The bicycle lane will be uneven until all the work is completed.  It is highly recommended to avoid the area until paving is completed.

We understand that traffic and construction impacts can be an inconvenience and we apologize in advance and thank you for your patience. For your safety and that of our crew, please follow all posted traffic signes and use caution while driving in the construction zone.

*All dates and times are subject to change due to operational factors or inclement weather.
