Brown Street, from Myrtle to Cumberland Street, in Westbrook will be closed to through traffic starting August 4. The closure may last up to 8 weeks.
The Portland Water District is making significant improvements to its Cottage Place Pump Station and the wastewater vault located in the road. The project will install mechanisms to eliminate clogging and flooding in the wastewater pump station and improve the overall operation of the Westbrook wastewater system.
Due to the scope of the work and the narrowness of the throughway, the closure of the road is necessary to protect the public. Local residents will be allowed access from the Myrtle Street end of Brown Street. All others will be detoured. Detour routes will be clearly marked.
The Portland Water District has hired CDM to do the work. For details about the project, contact CDM project manager, Amanda MacIsaac at (978) 606-2742.
