114th Street at Milwaukee Avenue Intersection to Close Monday

A southwest Lubbock street will close to allow crews to install a new sewer pipe.

Crews will close 114^th Street at Milwaukee Avenue at 7 a.m. Monday, June 17^th.

This will affect traffic on 114^th Street between Frankford Avenue and Upland Avenue, and traffic along Milwaukee Avenue south of 114^th Street.

The intersection will be closed for around 48 hours to allow crews to trench across 114^th Street and install the new pipe, according to the City of Lubbock.

If no problems are encountered during the construction, the intersection will reopen by 7 a.m. Wednesday.

The new sanitary sewer is being installed ahead of roadway paving as part of the Milwaukee Avenue and 98^th Street Paving Improvement Project.

The paving project will widen Milwaukee Avenue to seven lanes between 94^th Street and 114^th Street, and will widen 98^th Street to three lanes between Milwaukee Avenue and Huron Avenue.

The paving project is expected to be completed by April 2014.
