Pine Street water main replacement to start

ROSEBURG, Ore. – A water main replacement project is expected to begin next week along southeast Pine Street between Oak and Sykes avenues.

Starting Wednesday, Sept. 17, the project will replace about 2,600 linear feet of 6-inch-diameter 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 and Stephens streets.

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

Work is scheduled to begin Wednesday night, Sept. 17, from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. through Wednesday, Sept. 24. The contractor will begin daytime work on Monday, Sept. 29, from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.

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

Work will take place in the righthand, southbound 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.

The City appreciates motorists’ understanding and patience throughout the project, and asks drivers to use caution when traveling through the work zone.
