A major traffic corridor in east Emmett be closed for the next six weeks or so as a sewer and water project gets underway. The intersection of Substation Rd and 12th St. will be closed now until about April 20 according to a release from Gem County on Friday, April 5. Additional sections of Substation will be closed intermittently through mid-May to complete the sewer/water extension project.
According to the release from Gem County Emergency Management: “Substation Rd. will be completely closed at the intersection of 12th St. from Monday, April 8 to approximately Saturday, April 20 as Lurre Construction will be making sewer and water line extensions to Cherry Lane across Highway 16.
Substation Rd. northbound will be closed to local only traffic only at Highway 16. Residences east of S. Substation Rd. should use the alternate route from 12th St. turning north on Regency Wy and then west on E. Quail Run to S. Substation Rd.
Temporary Carberry Elementary traffic patterns accommodating the work, including mapping and signage, will be sent out to students, parents and staff via the school.
Once the connections to the city sewer and water are made and the construction crews are able to move south towards Cherry Lane, the intersection at Substation and 12th St. will be opened to assist with the traffic north of 12th St. on Substation. Substation Rd. between Highway 16 and 12th St. will remain closed except for local traffic for the duration of the project.
Residents along Sunrise St. and Sundown St. will be directed to use the secondary access on Sunrise St. to the new City Subdivision Legacy Heights to the east.
“Because the sewer connection is in the middle of the intersection of 12th and Substation, the intersection requires complete closure for excavation. We hope they are able to move out of that intersection quickly, and we appreciate everyone’s patience,” said Neal Capps, GCRB Director.
