Avenue B Closure - Detour for Sanitary Sewer Bypass
Starting Wednesday 7.17.24, Contractor Sundt Construction is shifting over traffic lanes both east and westbound on McCullough Ave at the Avenue B intersection. There will continue to be two-way traffic on McCullough and open pedestrian crosswalks, and bike lanes will be open. Avenue B will be closed between 6th St. and McCullough Ave. The sanitary sewer bypass is anticipated to last 6 weeks, until the week of 8.26.24, weather permitting. A detour has been set up to divert drivers traveling southbound on Avenue B down 6th St, across Broadway, and up McCullough. See map provided. This work is associated with the South Alamo 2017 Bond Project, and its sewer bypass system is connected to the Avenue B & McCullough sewer manhole.
