Sunbury engineer outlines street, park and sewer projects; CIPP lining planned for Cheshire ditch sewer
Summary
City engineer updated council on multiple infrastructure projects: Walnut Street reopening, East Granville design comment deadline Aug. 25, JR Smith Park 90% plans in October, 4 Winds Drive extension, and sanitary work on Cheshire Road including a cured-in-place pipe lining contract.
The city engineer reported progress on several Sunbury infrastructure projects at the Aug. 20 council meeting, including completed work on Walnut Street, federal-comment deadlines for the East Granville widening, park planning for JR Smith and a multistage sanitary improvement on Cheshire Road.
The engineer said Walnut Street’s stabilization project had its ribbon cutting Aug. 8 and crews will complete a final punch-list walkthrough with the contractor, IronSight, ahead of project close-out. For the East Granville Street widening project, the city has 30 days from the public-comment period to respond to federal funding comments; comments received in July are due Aug. 25.
JR Smith Park improvements are moving toward 90% plans in October with the goal of bidding a contractor before year-end. The engineer also noted the 4 Winds Drive extension south of White Castle is under construction and visible from the road; final paving is expected next spring.
On Cheshire Road the report said contractors are installing a sanitary sewer and realigning the road to meet the Hitachi entrance; the city is coordinating a connection to the pump station and hopes to complete the road work by year-end. Separately, the city plans to line a long section of the Cheshire ditch sanitary pipe rather than replace it. The engineer described the lining technique as inserting and inflating a bladder and curing a new pipe inside the old one (cured-in-place pipe, or CIPP). The city awarded a contract to Performance Pipeline for the lining; schedules are being aligned so connections and pump upgrades can occur in coordination.
Council members asked for drone footage of some sites and the engineer said design schedules remain on track; no votes were taken on these project updates.
