Grandview Drive Reconstruction Project: Utility Phase

Project Description

The City of Flagstaff and contractor, Eagle Mountain Construction, are working on the utility installation phase of the Grandview Drive Reconstruction Project. The utility phase of this project includes the installation of new sewer and water mains and services along a section of Main Street, just south of Cedar Avenue, and along Grandview Drive from Cedar Avenue to Linda Vista Drive (including the adjacent cul-de-sacs). This utility work is being done to lower and replace the aging underground utility facilities prior to the roadway improvements. Following the utility phase, full street reconstruction will take place; which includes new curbs, gutters and inverted asphalt pavement roadway along Grandview Drive to increase the amount of water that the road can accommodate during a flood event. The utility phase of this project is set to be complete in spring 2024. A follow-up notice will be sent prior to the roadway improvements commencing.

Construction Impacts

The contractor will work to ensure access to properties throughout the duration of the project, however, access may be closed for short durations when installing new utilities. The contractor will work with property owners and tenants on an individual basis to coordinate this work. Residential access for mail, deliveries, trash, recycling and emergency services will be maintained throughout construction. Additionally, the contractor will make every attempt to ensure continuous sewer and water service to all properties over the duration of the project; however, brief water shut-offs will be required to tie into the City’s existing system. Those affected will be notified in advance of any temporary utility interruption. The contractor may temporarily remove sandbags and flood mitigation measures when needed to install utilities. Crews will return or replace them to their original location following installation operations. Please note that residents are not advised to remove any flood mitigation measures during construction.

Tree Removal Operations

Crews will be removing trees within the City Right-of-Way along Grandview Drive that need to be taken out due to their proximity and conflict with the construction of utility and roadway improvements. Residents along Grandview Drive with trees that are slated for removal will be notified of the tree removals.
