Construction on Riverside Drive is being delayed. The delays are due to weather and issues with underground utility lines. Beavers found living in a pipe are also a factor in the delay.

What we know

  • Crews have been working on the sewer infrastructure since July as part of a Metropolitan Sewer District project.
  • To speed up the construction, crews will work on weekends to reopen Riverside Drive to two-way traffic.
  • Work on decommissioning a pipe had to be stopped and altered to allow beavers to remain in a portion of it near the river.
