Project Overview


With Santa Cruz County's existing sewer infrastructure aging, the Santa Cruz County Sanitation District is continually working to replace portions of the existing sewer system in a timely manner. This construction project will replace the existing sewers along 17th Avenue, Felt Street, and 24th Avenue which have reached the end of their useful life. Because of the scale of this project particular consideration is being given to timing, traffic flow, detours, and impacts to residents and businesses.
Traffic control and partial road closures affecting 17th Avenue, Felt Street, and 24th Avenue will be necessary on a daily basis between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. During these working hours, one-lane, two-way traffic control will be available for vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians. The area will be subject to traffic delays and periods of complete road closure within the project limits and adjoining cross streets. Use of alternate routes during construction are highly recommended. Detour routes will be provided and signed.
