Work Begins To Repair Collapsed Sewer In Long Beach

Work has started to repair the collapsed sewer in Long Beach, but it's still going to cause traffic problems for drivers this week.
For Wednesday and Thursday, the city's contractor will be installing bypass pumps to allow the damaged section of sewer pipe, which is located at the intersection of Roosevelt Boulevard and East Park Avenue, to be removed.
Because of the work, there will be no on-street parking on the south side of East Park Avenue between 736 East Park Ave. and Roosevelt Boulevard.

The city says the emergency repairs are expected to be completed by Friday, Sept. 7. Drivers should try to avoid the area until then.
