Pipe Replacement On Chain Bridge Road In Fairfax To Begin

Press release from the City of Fairfax :

Beginning Dec. 11, Fairfax City will replace about 25 feet of sewer pipe on Rt. 123/Chain Bridge Road at the intersection of Armstrong Street.

Construction will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays, and work is expected to last about two weeks (weather permitting).

Traffic lanes will be closed as needed, and on-site workers will direct drivers through the work area. Expect delays and consider alternate routes during this time.

The work will be performed during daytime hours due to the work zone’s proximity to residential communities. The work was approved for immediate attention due to the environmental impact if the damaged pipe was not promptly replaced.

During routine maintenance, the city discovered the deteriorated section of the 40-year-old concrete pipe. The city has contracted with Utilities Unlimited to remove and replace the damaged area with plastic pipe because the pipe was too damaged to be relined.
