13th Street To Close For Sewer Construction Project

OAK CREEK, WI — A stretch of 13th Street will be closed for one night in Oak Creek as workers tend to a sewer construction project.

According to officials, starting at 8 p.m. on Friday, July 12, County Road V, also known as 13th Street, will be closed to all traffic between Helm Street and W. Lois Lane in order to rebuild a sanitary sewer crossing.

Originally, a full closure was not expected to be necessary, city workers said, however, due to the sanitary sewer needing to maintain sewage flow, an overnight closure is required. A nighttime closure will have the least impact on travel and avoid peak travel times, officials said.

Access to the homes south of Stern Street will be accessible from the South. 13th Street will be re-opened by 8 a.m. on Saturday, July 13.

The work is, as usual, dependent upon favorable weather. The contingency date, in case of a weather delay, is between 8 p.m. on Friday, July 19 and 8 a.m. on Saturday, July 20.
