ESCANABA — Motorists in Escanaba will encounter lane closures Monday

Starting Monday, Oct. 5, the center and northbound (left hand) lanes will be closed beginning at 6 p.m., on South Lincoln Road near Walgreens and the U.S. 2 and 41 intersection. They will remain closed until the work is completed later that same night..

This closure is due to the work of installing a Cured-In-Place-Pipe liner designed to rehabilitate the aging sanitary sewer main crossing the highway. The city has hired Tunnel Vision to conduct this work on our behalf.

The right hand (southbound) lane will also be closed beginning at 8 am, on U.S. 2 and 41 from the overhead railroad crossing (near the KFC restaurant) to the 14th Ave North intersection. The lane will remain closed until the work is completed on Thursday or Friday.

This closure is due to replacing a faulty water services.

No disruption to potable water service to adjacent costumers is expected at this time.

Expect some delays, and slow down or avoid this area.

For any questions or concerns contact the City of Escanaba Water Department at 786-1301.
