Water and Wastewater Main Replacement on North Collier July 15 – January 6, 2025.

The City is conducting a comprehensive replacement of the existing water, wastewater, and reuse mains at the North Collier Blvd. Bridge beginning July 15th. The current 12-inch water main and 16-inch wastewater force main will be upgraded to 20-inch piping to improve efficiency and reliability. The project is expected to take six months and will take place in the area of North Collier Blvd. and Bluebonnet Way. During the project, a portion of Century Drive at North Collier Blvd. will be temporarily closed. One southbound lane on North Collier Blvd will also be closed. Drivers should plan for delays and drive cautiously on North Collier Blvd.

Attached to this release is a Management of Traffic Plan showing the lane closure on North Collier Blvd. and partial road closure on Century Drive. The southbound portion of this project is expected to last three months, before the northbound portion of the project begins and will last another three months with a similar northbound lane closure. A portion of Century Drive will be closed during the first three months of the project only. The work crew will work from 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM Monday – Friday.

Pedestrians and bicyclists should be mindful of sidewalk closures on Collier Blvd. and drivers should follow detour signs, drive slowly in the work zone, and watch for workers in the area. There will be no impact to trash pickup or mail delivery. For questions about the project, please call the Water and Sewer Department at 239-389-3930.
