Pocket Road Sewer Repairs

City Department of Utilities crews have recently been working to repair a part of the sewer system and road in the Pocket Neighborhood at Pocket Road near Sea Lion Court.

Because river levels are high, the ground is saturated with water, which has made repairing the road challenging.

The repairs may cause lane changes and road closures to Pocket Road in the coming weeks.

Drivers, cyclists and pedestrians are reminded to stay out of all closure areas.
