East Bay Street Sewer Improvement Project
Project Objective
A contractor working for JEA (IPR) replaced a portion of failing sanitary sewer main line near 223 East Bay Street. This project will increase the reliability of the sewer system and help prevent future sewer main breaks. Failures to sewer lines can eventually cause sewer backups, roadway issues and can negatively impact the environment
This sewer installation was completed using the pipebursting method of construction. This method is less disruptive to neighborhoods than the traditional open-cut method of replacing sewer lines, and the overall project duration is typically shorter.

Construction Conditions
For the safety of our crews and the general public, crews were required to temporarily close and shift traffic lanes along East Bay Street between Ocean Street North and North Liberty Street while pipe was being installed.

Restoration of the Project Area and Paving
Restoration of the project area began once the lines were installed, tested and cleared for use.
