[email protected] Harrison Avenue Reconstruction Project (Harrison Avenue between 9th Street and East of 22nd Street) (11th Street between Wills Avenue and South of 23rd Avenue) Road construction on Harrison Avenue between 9th Street and 20th Street continues for the 2017 season. Currently construction crews are concentrating on the installation of underground utilities along the south lanes of the road as work is now in Stage 2 of the Harrison Avenue project. Stage 2 includes box culvert extension, road widening, new pavement, curb and gutter, medians, sidewalk, sanitary sewer construction, storm sewer installation, water main replacement, new street lights, new traffic signals, and pavement markings. Stage 2 construction is scheduled to continue through the spring and summer of 2017. During Stage 2, the north lanes of Harrison Avenue will remain open to one lane of traffic each way at this time, with short, intermittent side street closures as the underground work moves through those intersections at various times during this stage. Beginning Monday, April 17, the south leg of the 11th Street & Harrison Avenue intersection will be closed to traffic for the reconstruction of 11th Street. Also, the north and south legs of the 20th Street & Harrison Avenue intersection will be closed for the reconstruction of 20th Street. These closures are anticipated to last throughout the rest of Stage 2. There will be a marked detour that will route traffic one block away from each of these closures. Motorists are advised to follow the detour signage. All work is dependent on the proper weather conditions. Drivers should be aware of work zone speed limits and use caution when driving in these areas.

WATER QUALITY CONTACTS: Water Quality Group:

If discolored water occurs, it is not a health hazard. However, during any flushing procedures, iron (red water) and manganese (black water) may become stirred up within the water main, which can create staining on the porcelain and laundry. This work may result in the disturbance of sediment, possibly containing lead. It is advised that you flush your water lines for 1 – 2 minutes once work is completed in your area including removing and cleaning faucet aerator screens to remove sediment. For this reason it is vital that the public be aware of the time and area that will be affected. If there are any Water Quality questions, please contact water quality at the number listed. For a detailed map of hydrant flushing locations and when staff will be working in specific neighborhoods, please visit the City’s web site at: http://rockfordil.gov/public-works/water-division/hydrant-flushing.
