The contractor for the West Roosevelt Sewer Improvement Project will be working in the intersection of N 46th St and West Roosevelt Dr and N 47th St and West Roosevelt Dr starting Monday, May 20th.
N 46th St and N 47th St between West Roosevelt Dr and Keefe St will be closed to traffic and pedestrians. Residents will continue to have access to their property. Please see the map.
The closure at N 46th St. and N 47th St. will be in effect during the tunneling phase of the project through December 2024. The Stage 1 Traffic Control plan remains in effect.
In 2020 the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) completed a planning study to develop system improvements that would reduce wastewater levels in MMSD sewers on West Roosevelt Drive and eliminate a sanitary sewer overflow connection to an existing City of Milwaukee storm sewer.
The West Roosevelt Sewer Improvement Project resolves to achieve both these goals. First, the construction of new MMSD and City of Milwaukee sewers and manholes will reroute high wastewater flows to areas of the MMSD sewer system that have a greater capacity to handle excess wastewater during wet weather events. Second, the removal of a sanitary sewer overflow pump station at North 35th Street and West Roosevelt Drive will allow the construction of the MMSD’s West Basin Stormwater Management Project, which is the third and final component of an integrated system to address recurrent flooding in the 30th Street Corridor.
