Chemstrand Road Closure

July 25, 2009


Current plans call for New Chemstrand Road north of Kingsfield Road to be closed beginning Wednesday of next week for up to four months.

As part of the 25 miles of transmission main being installed to redirect wastewater flow from the Emerald Coast Utilities Authority (ECUA) Main Street Wastewater Treatment Plant to the new Central Water Reclamation Facility (CWRF), one of ECUA’s contractors , Morgan Contracting, Inc., will begin pipeline construction on New Chemstrand Road Wednesday.

The area affected will be New Chemstrand Road, from Kingsfield Road north to Old Chemstrand Road, in front of Ascend Products (Solutia). During this time, the immediate section of the road where construction is occurring will be closed to through traffic. The current construction schedule is estimated to last approximately four months, but weather or unforeseen construction conflicts could cause project delays, according to ECUA.

“ECUA recognizes the inconvenience this may cause to some residents and businesses in the immediate area. It will make every effort to minimize the impact to those who travel Chemstrand Road and appreciates the public’s understanding during this phase of construction on a project so vitally import to our area,” ECUA said in a press release.

    FOUR MONTHS?????!!!! Does something really take this long to do? Considering this is a stretch of road I travel almost daily, I’m really agitated about this. I’m assuming by the way the article reads that they are closing the “entire” stretch for at least 4 months instead of just one lane at a time?
