Project Overview
This project (EW239) will replace the aging watermain on Russell Street from Broadway Street to West Illinois Street; Irving Street from Young Street to C Street; C Street from Irving Street to Dupont Street; and Dupont Street from Whatcom Creek to D Street. The project will also include asphalt overlay and ADA ramp upgrades on Russell Street and Irving Street.
Project Status – Winter 2026
Watermain connections on Russell Street are complete, and concrete panel replacement near the Municipal Building on Halleck and C Street has been finished. ADA improvements and concrete panel replacement are complete at the intersection of West North Street and Russell Street.
Later in March, the concrete panels at Russell Street and Illinois Street will be replaced. This work is approved to take place between 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. to complete the work more efficiently. Final paving is scheduled for the spring.
