Community Benefit
The 3 Bridges Benson Avenue Sewer Line Project delivered critical upgrades to the community’s wastewater collection system. By constructing a new lift station, installing forcemain and gravity sewer lines, and expanding supporting infrastructure, the project increased system capacity, reduced the risk of sanitary sewer overflows, and enhanced overall reliability of service.
These improvements ensure the safe and efficient conveyance of wastewater, protecting both public health and the environment. The added capacity also supports anticipated community growth and development in the service area. Finally, careful traffic management and roadway restoration helped minimize disruption to residents and businesses during construction.
