The project will be performed in three stages along Ralston Avenue between South Road and Notre Dame Avenue. The first stage of replacing pipe between South Road and the Notre Dame University entrance will begin on Thursday.

Ralston Avenue WILL BE CLOSED BETWEEN 5:00AM TO 7:00AM ON THURSDAY MORNING to bring two sections of fused pipes (500’ and 300’) from Notre Dame Avenue to South Road.

Four police officers will be at the surrounding locations to help direct traffic if necessary. Proper signage, barricades and flagmen will be provided by the contractor to minimize the impact to the traffic.
