A water main replacement project is expected to begin next week along Southeast Pine Street between Southeast Oak Avenue and Southeast Sykes Avenue in Roseburg.

A city release said starting next week, the project will replace about 2,600 linear feet of 6-inch-water main installed in the 1930s with new 8-inch-diameter water main. Work will also include mid-block water main replacements on Southeast Mosher Avenue and Southeast Cass Avenue between Pine Street and Southeast Stephens Street.

The Roseburg Public Works Department contracted with NorthCore USA of Albany to construct the project.

Work is scheduled to begin Wednesday night, September 17th and continue through Wednesday, September 24th, from 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. The contractor will begin daytime work on Monday, September 29th, from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

The release said the project may shut down temporarily over the winter, due to weather constraints, then resume in the spring.

Work will take place in the right-hand, south-bound lane of Southeast Pine Street between Oak and Sykes avenues. During working hours, one lane of Pine Street will be closed to traffic through the work zone.
