Clackamas County closure of SE Cason Road for sewer installation to continue to Oct. 30

Clackamas County's closure of SE Cason Road from SE Strawberry Lane to SE Webster Road, originally set for Sept. 1-30, 24 hours a day, has been extended.   for installation of a sewer line.  The closure is continuing from Oct. 1-30, 2011, but only from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.daily.

The closure is needed for installation of a sewer pipeline.

Road closure and detour signs have been posted.  Local traffic is permitted during closure hours.  The work zone is open to emergency vehicles, school buses, garbage vehicles, postal vehicles and any local businesses.

The pipeline project, together with maintenance at the Kellogg Creek Water Pollution Control Plant in Milwaukie and expansion of the Tri-City Water Pollution Control Plant in Oregon City, will allow the transfer of wastewater flow from CCSD #1 to the Tri-City plant. This will help relieve operating issues at the Kellogg Creek Plant, protect public health and the Willamette River.
