Work Begins This Week On $1.3 Million Carver Park Drainage Project
November 11, 2018
Work is set to begin this week on a drainage project in the Carver Park area.
The area between Washington, Ransom, Booker, Webb, Lincoln and Louis streets will close intermittently for the installation of a new drainage system. Closures and detours will be ongoing and evolving as construction progresses. Construction is expected to take place Monday through Saturday, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. The project is expected to last seven to eight months.
During this time, residents, local traffic and emergency vehicles will have access to properties at all times. However, there may be short periods of time when a driveway or entrance may be temporarily blocked as equipment and materials are moved.
The Carver Park Drainage Improvement Project consists of installing a new stormwater conveyance system with outfall to a new dry stormwater pond located east of Ransom Street. The project will include construction of shallow roadside swales, ditch bottom and curb inlets, approximately 4,900 linear feet of stormwater transmission pipes, and the relocation and installation of approximately 1,900 linear feet of water main lines. The project is estimated at $1.3 million and is funded with local option sales tax dollars.

Will it effect traffic flow on 297A? Will that section of 297 from Camp 5 to Muscogee Road be resurfaced and widen?
So proud to see new drains going in. This project has been a long time coming.I can remember since I were a small child how often it would flood the entire neighborhood and the people that lived in the center of the street couldn’t get out of their homes until the water had receded.Thanks to the Cantonment Improvement Committee who has been working since 2012 to help get this project going.
