Construction On Stormwater Project May Impact Claremont Motorists

CLAREMONT, CA — Construction has resumed along Mills Avenue as part of the Pedley Spreading Grounds Enhancement Project, with work expected to continue for approximately three weeks, city officials announced Thursday.

Contractors working on behalf of the City of Pomona resumed construction Tuesday, Nov. 3, along the southbound lanes of Mills Avenue, south of Base Line Road. Crews are installing a new stormwater diversion vault as part of the project, the city said.

Work is scheduled Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Mills Avenue and Base Line Road will remain open throughout construction, but southbound lane closures on Mills Avenue may cause traffic delays. The sidewalk along the west side of Mills Avenue will also be closed during construction hours, the city said.

The city encouraged motorists and pedestrians to follow posted traffic control signs and use alternate routes when possible to avoid delays.

Construction equipment and traffic control measures will be removed at the end of each workday to restore normal access during nonworking hours.
