B Street Closure: Latest On Petaluma Sewer Replacement Project

PETALUMA, CA — With construction underway on the B Street Sewer Replacement Project in downtown Petaluma, the city advised that beginning Wednesday, Oct. 16, B Street will be closed between 4th and 5 streets as the next phase of construction begins.

The project includes replacement of sewer mains and laterals, as well as water main and services, followed by paving on B Street, E Street, 5th Street and Hinman Lane. Sewer main installation and water service installation has been completed on 5th and E streets, though minor work will continue in both areas for sidewalk and ADA ramp work.

During the B Street phase, traffic through 4th Street toward Kentucky Street will be maintained, according to the city.

The road closure between 4th Street and 5th Street will move with construction to minimize impacts to local residents and businesses, city officials said. Work will begin at 4th Street and continue toward 5th and 6th streets.

Buses will be rerouted through the area and a temporary bus stop will be installed at the intersection of 4th and C streets, according to the city.

City officials also said parking on 5th Street between B and C streets will be restricted for possible use by businesses along B Street whose parking is impacted by construction.

Project updates are being posted to the Public Works page of the city's website.

Those with specific questions or concerns about the project may contact the project manager, Dan Herrera, at 707-778-4589 or dherrera@cityofpetaluma.org.
