Colfax replaces rotted water line under north bridge as street project continues
Summary
City staff reported the ongoing street construction is proceeding and crews are replacing a rotted water line under the north bridge, rerouting the new line to sit on the concrete channel walls; construction traffic patterns will shift further as work continues.
City Administrator Matt Hammer updated the council that the municipal construction project is progressing but has encountered a rotted water line beneath the north bridge that is being replaced. The new water line will be laid to rest on the walls of the concrete river channel rather than suspended under the bridge, a change intended to improve durability and reduce future maintenance.
Hammer said project work has required temporary traffic-pattern changes and that additional shifts in traffic flow are expected before the project is complete. He also noted staff arranged signage for businesses to improve customer access during construction.
