STORMWATER, SIDEWALK UPGRADES CONTINUE

March 18, 2021 - Progress continues for drainage improvements and sidewalk construction along Hessen Cassel Road. Beginning Monday, March 22, 2021, crews will move into the roadway to construct stormwater pipes that will cross the road.

The work will require Hessen Cassel to close to thru traffic between McKinnie Avenue and Paulding Road. A detour will use South Anthony Boulevard. See attached map.

The road will close for about four months but will be open to local traffic, defined as those who live in the neighborhoods along this stretch of Hessen Cassel.

The $3.87 million construction is adding 2.7 miles of sidewalks where they didn't exist before and improving drainage with 3.5 miles of new ditches and swales and 8,000 feet of stormwater pipe.
