Overnight Work on North Collier November 11-12

The City is conducting a comprehensive replacement of the existing water, wastewater, and reuse mains at the North Collier Blvd. Bridge. The first phase of the project started on the southbound side of North Collier Blvd at Bluebonnet Way in July. The second phase of the project began in September on the northbound side of North Collier Blvd. The current 12-inch water main and 16-inch wastewater force main are being upgraded to 20-inch piping to improve efficiency and reliability. The project is close to being finished but requires nighttime work on November 12, 2024. By working at night, there is less impact on the wastewater system due to lower usage, which also reduces the likelihood of a potential spill.

The night work will involve the use of heavy equipment and light towers, and possible disruption to traffic flow. Work will be conducted from 7:00 AM – 6:30 PM on Monday, November 11 and from 7:00 PM on November 12 until 7:00 AM on November 13. We apologize in advance for the noise and inconvenience, and we thank surrounding residents and businesses for their patience during this lengthy project.

Drivers on North Collier Blvd. should follow detour signs, drive slowly in the work zone, and watch for workers in the area. For questions about the project, please call the Water and Sewer Department at 239-389-3930.
