TOWN RELEASE

A pipeline replacement project starting this week in downtown Danville will be affecting traffic on Diablo Road through the end of January. 

Preliminary work on the East Bay Municipal Utility District pipeline replacement project began Monday, but crews will begin excavation of the pipeline on Thursday, Jan. 9.

The work will be taking place initially on eastbound Diablo Road between Hartz Avenue and Front Street.

Work hours are Monday 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Tuesday through Friday at 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. During the work, two-way traffic will be maintained at all times.
